If you read my post last week about the Walk and Wheel for Mac Kids then you may recall I mentioned a little warrior named Addison who was fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia and spent most of her journey at McMaster Children's Hospital. Sadly, Addi lost that fight earlier this week.
Today is her memorial service!
So, today while I am still reaching out for donations to the Walk and Wheel, the charity of choice that Addi's parents have selected is C17. "C17’s goal is to improve outcomes & quality of life for children with cancer & serious blood disorders in Canada. Currently, only 5% of donations to cancer research go to childhood cancer. Together we can help to grow that number, to save the lives of many other little warriors fighting their battles with childhood cancer in Canada."
Circumstantially, I used to work for an organization that partnered with C17, so am aware of the good work that they do in the world of pediatric oncology in Canada.
So, if you know Addi or have followed her story, you've likely already donated because, how could you not? But, if you haven't yet donated or if this is the first you've read about sweet Addison, check out her Facebook page and consider donating to this worthy cause in her name.
