Default This link hopefully will give you a lift.

https://www.carriesbeanies4braincancer.com/

Background story here is Carrie Bickmore is a popular TV compare here. Her husband contracted brain cancer when their child was only very young. Perhaps 3y/o. Sadly, her husband passed away after fighting hard and long against this disease.

During a TV awards night a couple of years ago, Carrie stood up on stage to receive an award and she pulled on a beanie and made an impromptu speech just to make more people aware of the need for more research and the need for funding. I believe she was hoping to raise a few thousand dollars by selling some beanies with the proceeds going to BC research.

The speech went viral (here) and to date they have raised over $5 million dollars and are seeking to raise that much again.

Read the link, I know it will inspire you. And the very best of luck and good wishes from me.

Ian
