Shave for Grace

On Thursday, April 12 Calgary mother Nancy Couldwell joined students at Menno Simons Christian School as they shaved their lids in an act of love and solidarity for Grace Couldwell, a grade-three student who is battling leukemia. Grace’s 10-year-old twin siblings Joshua and Emma Couldwell were among the 14 students who shaved or cut their hair to raise money for the Kids Cancer Care. Together, they have raised more than $12,000 to date.

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.
