Fostership at Altadore School

On Wednesday, April 25 Foster Garrison and his big sister Kaidence Garrison showed moral support and solidarity for children with cancer when they lost their locks at a shave fundraising event at Altadore School. The brother-and-sister duo joined over 20 other students, staff, parents and grandparents from the Altadore School community, which to date has raised over $21,000 for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta and Helping Families Handle Cancer.

What our families are saying

Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying

Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying

Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
