A family from Walkerton who lost their nine-year-old niece and cousin Adaura Cayford, from Fort St. John, British Columbia, to Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a terminal brain tumor she was diagnosed with in August 2019, is supporting a national ePetition to declare May 17 National DIPG Awareness Day.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world in many ways. It’s changed how we live, how we mourn loved ones, it’s even changed how we spend time with family.
Kate Hadland and the staff of Tenacious Detail wanted to find a way to bring some positivity and togetherness to residents of Fort St. John, and that is how the Community Lantern Release was created.
The lantern release will be taking place on Saturday, December 19th. Everyone is encouraged to contact Hadland to pick up a lantern to release at the set time of 6 pm on Saturday.
