UCDA Plaque Presentation

On November 17^th  Everlee Watson visited the UCDA (Used Car Dealers Association) to deliver a thank you plaque on behalf of Help A Child Smile. Everlee Watson is a childhood cancer survivor and boy does she smile.

She has a good deal going on in her life that has nothing to do with cancer, because she is now cancer-free. Diagnosed at 4, two and half years of treatments later, she finally has a clean bill of health.

Now 11 years old, Everlee does not have to think about hospitals and treatments now. Instead she thinks about her favorite sports, her art and her beautiful horse, Dolly. She loves to ride that horse, even though it’s getting a little fat!

Giving back is the legacy of Everlee’s journey to health. Her whole family want to thank the McMaster Children’s Hospital and the UCDA, but it does not stop there.  Everlee’s grandmother, Ramona Durkin, is now the Treasurer of the charity that helped them all those years ago, Help a Child Smile, and her mother is a VP of the same organization.

Every week brings new families in need of help as their personal journeys fighting childhood cancer begins – and we all want them to know – they are not alone.
