Faith created Cuddles for Cancer when she was just nine years old. After hearing that cancer patients often got cold during their treatments, Faith came up with the idea of making fleece blankets, hoping it would bring patients warmth, comfort and love. Since then, she has raised over $15,000 to help her make 700+ of her cuddle blankets. They have been sent all across Canada, the U.S. and to France, England and Australia. She has also created a signature ‘soldier’ blanket for her “Sponsor a Soldier” campaign for soldiers overseas and those suffering from injuries or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, many of these blankets have been sent to Afghanistan and Kuwait. She recently launched a campaign called "Kids at Christmas", asking the community to sponsor a child to ensure every child admitted to her local hospital is given a cuddle blanket on Christmas Eve. In 2013, Faith also delivered 26 "cuddle" blankets to Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. On January 15th, 2014, Faith was awarded the Ontario Junior Citizen Award. She believes that you can never be too young to make a difference in the world. 

100% of funds donated go towards buying more fleece, so Faith can make more blankets.

Faith’s motto is “everyone deserves a cuddle”. Help her share her “cuddle” blankets!

THANK YOU for your support. <3
