In the face of tragedy, Alexis still has hope for the future.
Alexis was only five years old when she lost her mother from cancer.
Now 11 years old, she sent this letter here to the BC Cancer Agency, along with a cheque for $184 from funds she raised herself.
Alexis made her donation because she believes in research. And despite her loss she still has hope.
Your support can make a huge difference too. We want to raise $300,000 by December 31st so please donate now to help us reach our goal.
Cancer doesn't just affect individuals - it can devastate families and friends, and leave a void in entire communities.
And this is even more noticeable during the holidays - when the spirit of community brings families and friends together in celebration.
That's why we're determined to raise $300,000 before this year ends - to go into some of the most promising research at the BC Cancer Agency to change the cancer story for other families.
