Shania's Sunflower of Hope Fun Fair (6th year) - click here for more info - I'm off for a day of fun!

Back for another year... \we actually had  lineups for Snow Cones at 10:30am!
This has nothing to do with hooking or being creative just doing what I like to do, helping others... keeping busy :-) This is a great event that would not be a success without all the volunteers.  My friend Anji Sharp got me into this when she ran it 4 years ago and what an event at the Markham Fair Grounds - raising funds for Neuroblastoma, a terrible disease that took Shania from this earth all too soon!  Check it out and there is a link to donate too on the site.

I'll be back to hooking more on Sun after hockey tryouts - on gate duty with Sheri who seems to have never ending energy galore :_)

We had a great time at Shania's fundraiser - her first event before passing at age 8, Shania made $88 selling bracelets.  Then the next year I was lucky to be part of the event at the fairgrounds and sadly the last one for Shania but... she had such a strong bearing on everyone she touched, in the last 6 years the event has raised well over $240,000! Amazing!!!
