Please meet Emma.
Before the Terry Fox Run this week, I will "introduce" Emma, a courageous little girl from the East coast, to our class. Please read this post to learn about a wonderful initiative called WORDS OF HOPE and to learn more about Emma.
Last year, my class participated in the newly launched and amazing character education program called "Words Of Hope". This program pairs classrooms across Canada with children facing life threatening illnesses and allows them to show their support by writing get well cards and letters. The programme started with a little five year old girl named Sarah who was fighting Leukemia and had two schools write close to 300 cards for her. Since then, Words of Hope, started by Matthew Shchukovsky from the Peel District School Board, helped two other children fighting for their lives, and brought over 20 schools and close to 900 students together as a community.are hoping for the same result.

This time, we're looking to help another young girl named Emma Macrae out of Halifax, NS. Emma is five years old and was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia in October 2011. Emma continues to be treated for the disease and is presently undergoing chemotherapy. She is a patient at both the Cape Breton Regional Hospital in Sydney and the IWK in Halifax. She is five years old now and is starting school next week. She has a seven year old brother, Landon. Her journey so far has been full of ups and downs but she is a fighter.
