Mélanie's Way

THANK YOU to everyone who supported my birthday fundraiser for Mélanie’s Way! We received almost $2500 in donations through FB (thank you to Dona Fitzgerald, Amanda Chalmers, Kailey Zollinger, Mary-Lee Gilliss, Hsiu-Yan C, Erin Richardson, Sue Urbanski, Ross Jefferson, and Donald J Landry!), and another $2400 in donations straight to www.melaniesway.com (thank you to Tom S. Hsu, Vianna Phillips, George Saltzberg, Genevieve Raby, and few more!).

This brings us pretty close to $5000 – which I said I would match – so our total is $10000…and that means that, together, we are funding a wish for a young woman with terminal cancer!

I can’t think of a better birthday present. My heart is full of gratitude and love. THANK YOU!

It has been six years since the last time I got to celebrate my birthday with Mélanie Chalmers – so this year I thought I would try celebrating it with the whole community of Mélanie’s Way
I am hoping all of my friends and family can help me to make a wish happen for a young woman with metastatic or relapsed cancer – so I WILL MATCH DONATIONS UP TO A TOTAL $5000. Together, we can raise enough to help a young woman with terminal cancer create a wonderful experience to share with her loved ones!

Hey, we know those two. That’s our co-founder, Rob, and fairy godmother, Amanda of Mélanie’s Way.

I’m so honoured to volunteer with this organization and help to make wishes of young women with metastatic or relapsed cancer come true.

I was so blessed with the support of Melanie’s Way in February 2020, just before Covid changed the world, when I was able to travel with my family and create loving memories together to last a lifetime, that I am forever grateful for. I am now so fortunate to help other women be granted with their wishes in the days to come.

Please have a read to learn more about this wonderful organization. If you should have any questions, would like to support, or know of a young woman who may wish the support of Melanie’s Way, please be sure to let me know.

#ThankYou to The Globe and Mail for featuring Mélanie’s Way 🤗

Grateful to Paul Waldie and The Globe and Mail for sharing the Mélanie’s Way story with their audience.
We are humbled by the wave of support – and will channel it to create meaningful experiences for young women with terminal cancer to share with their loved ones.

Thank you as well to Amanda Chalmers for her tireless work as our ‘Chief Fairy Godmother’ (Wish Fulfillment Lead). Creating wish experiences that fit the needs of the families we support is a creative challenge; doing so in the midst of a pandemic is something else.
