Someone You Love Has Cancer: A Child's Guide to Understanding provides a platform for conversation between parents and children, as well as teachers and their students. This educational poem was written to empower children and ease their anxiety by opening meaningful conversations based on facts.

A Child's Guide comes with a Glossary of Terms, as well as fundraising ideas and instructions on how to create a Memory Box.

She also recently underwent treatment for triple negative breast cancer. With her positive, can-do attitude, she and a group of other women modeled for the Cancer Center's billboards and posters during a one-month fundraising event that brought over $71,000 directly to the Windsor Regional Cancer Center, Ontario, Canada.

This book was made possible with contributions from Rosser Reeves Jewellers in honour of family, friends, and customers whose lives have been touched by cancer.
