She had heard of an organization here in Toronto that takes hair and makes it into wigs for cancer children. I can not find out any thing on this. One friend did say that there was a TV show about it but she could not remember anything about it either. Any help would be greatful.

What I do is collect brand new "COOL" hats and distribute them to canadian children who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. So far 5,000 hats have been collected. I have distributed them to various children's hospitals across Canada. Please let know of any children's summer cancer camps coming up and I will be sure to send some hats. Also if your hospital hasn't received their hats yet, please let me know of a contact person and I will send some hats your way. If you require any further information please email me. Thank you for your time. The web site should be up and running very shortly so please drop by and visit. Thanks again.

Lisa <[email protected]> Calgary, AB Canada - Sunday, March 12, 2000 at 14:43:11 (EST) We live in a city with little support for pediatric oncology. However, we will be getting a POGO Satellite this year. Have any other cities been in our circumstances. How did you make things work before the satellite, and then once the satellite was in place. I would like to be a catalyst for good change in our community. Any info I can bring to light will help to make things smoother for the many families who travel 2 1/2 hours to our nearest care center.

I know that this board is for Candlelighters in Canada, however the site for Candlelighters USA does not seem to have a board like this. I am desperate for info. My son Nicholas was diagnosed (12/06/99)with non-ossceous Ewing's Sarcoma, with the tumor localized in his right neck. Prognostically, things look pretty good. My son is two years old. I would like to correspond hopefully with someone in a similar situation...if not it's O.K. Thank you. Priscilla Priscilla Robinette <[email protected]> Melbourne, Fl USA - Friday, January 21, 2000 at 01:20:53 (EST) I was honoured to meet and work with families and their children, diagnosed with cancer, at CHWO in London, Ontario. I was completing an internship in Art Therapy at the time. I would love to continue to pursue opportunities to work in this field in Toronto. If anyone has any ideas or info that could help me, please contact me. Also - thank you to Candlelighters for all their important work and a special hello to Kristie Bird if you are out there - I would love to hear from you! Jen Jennifer Bennett Pond <[email protected]> Toronto, ON Canada - Tuesday, January 18, 2000 at 12:37:15 (EST) My 2-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer in April called Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumour (ATT/MRT). It is rare because it presented in the CNS, with lesions found also on the spine. I am searching for any information on this tumour, treatment and survivors or other case stories. Return e-mail is [email protected] Randi Morry <[email protected]> Ottawa, ON Canada - Wednesday, December 15, 1999 at 09:06:01 (EST) This web site is great, not only for cancer patients and there families, but for people that aren't aware of what the disease really is. I mean every body knows what "cancer" is, but not so many know how the disease is caused and just who it effects. I have had 3 people in my life diagnosed with cancer. My uncle(in the eye), my sisters best-friend(leukemia) and a school mate(leukemia). Sadly, only my uncle was a survivor but he's still in remission. I want to help in the search for a cure, and although I am only 16, I plan to do whatever I can. I now know the meaning of everything counts. Sincerely, Crystal Pontes Winnipeg Crystal <[email protected]> Winnipeg, MB Canada - Tuesday, November 30, 1999 at 20:36:10 (EST) My son Ray-Quan is three years old and was diagnosed on April 15,1999 with Stage IV Neuroblastoma. Adeline McDonald <[email protected]> Toronto, ON Canada - Wednesday, October 13, 1999 at 11:28:49 (EDT) I realize that this page is for the Canada Candlelighters, but i am seeking any and all information i can find. I am a 19 year old sophomore at Rhodes College in Memphis TN. I am a pediatirc cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 neuroblastoma when i was 6 months old. I had surgery and four rounds of chemo, and was off treatment by the time i was a year and a half old. Fortunately i do not remember my experiences, but it is a cause that is close to my heart. I want to go into Pediatric oncology or hematology when i finish school. I am currently wanting to start a support group like candlelighters of Canada in the Memphis area. Memphis is home of St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital (www.stjude.org), one of the largest hospitals for children with cancer and cancer research, but there is no suport network in Memphis for parents, families, friends and children with cancer. Any advice or information or encouragement would be appreciated, as well as anyone who just wants someone to talk to about cancer. Thanks! Kim Thomas <[email protected]> Memphis, TN USA - Monday, October 04, 1999 at 00:32:44 (EDT) I had never heard of Candlelighters until I received one of those annoying charity phone calls (how can they always phone at an exactly wrong time?) I have to tell you that while the spiel was good, I was suspicious of the legitimacy of the charity because of the caller's noticeable American accent. I guess I had images of a huge call centre somewhere in the U.S. where they have little idea about what they are raising funds for. I finally asked her if there was a web site that I could check out and I must say that I'm impressed with it. It leaves no doubt in my mind that you are "legit" and do some pretty wonderful things (the list of corporate sponsors was also very impressive), so I guess you'll get my donation. I did think you might be interested in my impressions of your telephone soliciting, because other folks may have the same reaction but not bother checking further, therefore the comments. Good luck! Dianne Kurelek Dianne Kurelek Burlington, On Canada - Sunday, October 03, 1999 at 22:26:09 (EDT) Hello, Is there anyone out there who has a child with medulloblastoma or PNET, would you like to join our discussion mailing list ? It's free to join! email over 100 other parents going through or who have gone through this ordeal. Thanks David David UK - Friday, October 01, 1999 at 15:38:09 (EDT) Hello, My son was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in Nov 97, he's doing fine now, you can visit his story page if you would like to hear our story. David UK - Friday, October 01, 1999 at 15:33:25 (EDT) All my prayers go out to the all those who have contracted such a terrible disease. My grandson was told that he had medulloblastoma. Again, my prayers go out to all, God Bless Each and Everyone. This is a very nice site to visit. Thanks for letting me drop by. charles gerlach <[email protected]> Colonial Heights, VA USA - Saturday, September 25, 1999 at 13:57:34 (EDT) that CCF-Candlelighters is certainly one of my favorites....just knowing that i'm helping to fundraise for thousands of children and their families reminds me of how important it really is to help others in their time of need, especially the children.....they deserve the best. Best wishes to all the kids and their families.......never give up, and god bless. Melissa Myers <[email protected]> St. John's, Nf Canada - Sunday, August 22, 1999 at 03:00:04 (EDT) I just wanted to say that, I think the Candlelighters is a great, great idea and something that needs to spread to all members of all communities. So many people need the support of an organization like your self. I personally will spread the word. I think most of us nowadays are touched by some child we know or have heard of with cancer. It is not their fault and we must do all we can to ensure they have a chance to have a good life. Myself and my daughter are both cancer survivors and we see and enjoy life where others do not. Keep up the good work and I will pass along the good work that you tirelessly continue to provide. Thank You for your time--------Ray. Ray MacNeill <[email protected]> Peterborough, on Canada - Wednesday, August 18, 1999 at 21:49:10 (EDT) My 20 mth old son Brady was recently diagnosed with a Ewings sarcoma. He is presently undergoing chemo and is doing well so far. Our family is very interested in the Candlelighters program and really enjoy your site. gordena walker ST.johns, nf Canada - Friday, August 13, 1999 at 15:07:49 (EDT) A great organization with some zanny people keeping it together. In memory of my aunt, Annie Valin, 1929-1947, died of leukemia. If only there was an organization like CCF then, it may have been of great help to a good but poor family. Austin Guerin <[email protected]> Toronto, ON Canada - Thursday, August 12, 1999 at 23:41:21 (EDT) It really is great to see all the people who care for these helpless children, I hope a cure will be found some day soon! My heart goes out too all the sick children and the families who suffer. GOD BLESS! ANGELA M St'john's , nf Canada - Tuesday, July 27, 1999 at 20:43:51 (EDT) I have a 17 year old daughter nearing the end of her treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma.

Wanda McLean <[email protected]> Pennfield, NB Canada - Sunday, July 04, 1999 at 11:25:06 (EDT) This site is a god send. I have a son who is 4 years old with Wilms Tumbor Type 2 favorable. I was wondering if there is anyone else who had the same or simular problem. He has always been very active and know with chemo he is not. This is very hard on him is there any advice? I could use some please.

Francine Guiet <[email protected]> Gatineau, qc Canada - Monday, February 08, 1999 at 19:18:27 (EST) I have a Girlfriend, who's youngest daughter(12) was diagnosed with Brain Tumours. They have been under tremendous stress as a result. I have done as much as I can to help, support etc. I WANT TO DO MORE! Which prompts my letter to you. I'm seeking information on starting a non-profit agency. With the goal of raising funds for organizations such as yourselves and many other Cancer related Organizations. I realize this is a huge step. But perhaps you could send me some information or advice on how to best set up an organization such as this. Any input would be appreciated. Thank You in advance, and keep up the Excellent work. Rick Gaertner Rick Gaertner <[email protected]> Mississauga, On Canada - Wednesday, February 03, 1999 at 00:26:26 (EST) This is a super site !!!
