The loss of one child's innocence
to cancer is dreadful.
The loss of one child's life to
cancer is too many.

Sam's Day 2009 RecapThank You...We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of our annual Sam's Day Fundraiser. The 5th annual Sam's Day Family Fun Event in support of The James Fund for Neuroblastoma Research at SickKids was held on Saturday June 6, 2009 at Prime Time Bowl in Burlington. More than 300 people attended the fundraiser which was a birthday celebration for our six year old son Sam who is a cancer survivor. Just last week, Sam and a troupe of a dozen other friends and family made the annual trip to Toronto and this year we presented to Sick Kids’ a cheque for a Sam’s Day record $46,000!! Sam’s Day 2009 now goes on record as the best and most financially successful of our 5 years of Sam’s Day - and we couldn’t have done it without the fantastic support of all of our family, friends and the community. Support from the community was awesome, and we just can’t say thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy lives to embrace our cause through event participation, raising awareness, volunteering, donating auction prizes, sponsoring lanes, in-kind donations, sponsoring bowler(s), or in some cases all of the above! A special thank-you to the brave kids who generously cut and donated their hair to Angel Hair for Kids. They alone raised over $8000!! Beyond the fun and camaraderie of the event itself, you are now part of leading-edge research that IS making a difference in the race to finds cures for childhood cancers. Thanks again! Sincerely, The Lack Family
