Welcome to the Starlight Giving Tree, Starlight’s new, innovative and exciting campaign where you get to watch in real time as your donation, big or small, helps the tree grow as far and wide as possible. Starlight Children’s Foundation® Canada has been brightening the lives of seriously ill children and their families by bringing them joy, laughter and relief, for close to 30 years. We focus on the family as a whole, at a time when they feel most isolated, offering programs and events that can provide an escape from the stress of dealing with a serious illness every day. What makes Starlight unique is that we are there for the entire journey — from hospital to home. While in-hospital, Starlight provides distraction, entertainment and relief from the stress and boredom of hospitalization. When out-of-hospital, Starlight children benefit from our Day Brightener, Great EscapesTM and Wishes programs — giving them an opportunity to leave the ‘sick’ behind, create special family memories and return home with a renewed sense of strength and hope. The Starlight Giving Tree is a campaign that is more than just about donating money, it does not matter how much you donate. What matters is keeping the tree growing, and together we could make this tree bigger than anything we would have ever imagined. The growth of the tree is in your hands. To keep it growing there are three simple things you have to do: Donate, whether it be large or small, the amount is not important, what is important is to keep the tree growing Nominate, whether it is family, a friend or colleagues, nominate as many people as possible to make their own donation and keep the tree growing Watch, your tree grow in real time. The Giving Tree is not about who donates the most money, the purpose is to get the Starlight branches out to as many people as possible and to create the largest Starlight Giving Tree we can. So donate, nominate and watch the Starlight Giving Tree grow! Thank you, For more information on Starlight, please go to http://www.starlightcanada.org.

Hi Friends! At the end of February this year, my buddy Austin Griffin was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a disease which consists of the softening of the bones in his lower right femur. When diagnosed, they also discoverd a cancerous tumor on his femur as well. Austin has been going through Chemo Therapy the last 3 months at Northwestern Memorial hospital downtown Chicago. Next Wednesday, Austin will be going under a surgery in which they will replace his right knee and the lower half of his femur. After surgery, he will then go through 3 more months of Chemo Therapy. I have known Austin for quite some time and witnessing his attitude first hand over the last 3 months has been nothing short of amazing. Anyone who has encountered Austin knows how selfless of a person he is. As we all know, medical bills are very expensive. Augie is on his way to being cured and and if you would be able to make any donation at all so that he can keep kicking cancers ass it would be very much appreciated! Please keep sending positive thoughts Austin's way and share if you can!!! #AugDogStrong

As Secretary of Blended Angels MC, I created this page in honor of our President, Nica (“Shooki” “Squirt”). Nica was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2013 and has continued to fight and smile through it all. She just found out last week that not only does she need to focus on the breast cancer, but now she has to focus on both of her lungs. Unfortunately the type of cancer she has normally spreads from the breast area to the lungs, brain and bones. Nica may be small (that’s why we call her Squirt), but she has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever known. She is always giving her personal time and personal money to help others. She even hosts a breast cancer charity ride each year. Sadly the event was cancelled this year because we just couldn’t do it without her. She gives so much to the community and never asks anything of anyone and that is why I’m creating this. For all that know her, you all know what a caring heart she has. At some point I am sure you have seen her provide a home, food, ride or something to someone in need. And now I am reaching out to you all asking that we do something for her.  My goal is to surprise Nica with this. I am sure it would mean so much to her to see how much love and support you all can give her. I’ve not made this public on Social Media due to the fact that not all of her family are aware of the recent news. I would love for you all to spread the word, but please try to refrain from allowing her family to somehow become aware. Everyone knows how much of a protector she is and never wants others to worry so please keep that in mind.  Please think of Nica today as you all know she would you. Thank you for your time and consideration.
