SYDNEY, N.S. Caleb MacArthur’s young life was tragically cut short six years ago, but he continues to leave a lasting impression in his community. The superhero loving toddler died from cancer in 2015, a month shy of his fourth birthday. On Tuesday, the charity that honours Caleb received a pair of much needed donations from the community that will help other families dealing with childhood cancer and other critical illnesses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, charities across the world have struggled to meet their fundraising goals. For charities like ‘Caleb’s Courage’, every dollar counts these days. “It’s been a tough year,” says Nicole MacArthur, Caleb’s mother. “All of our events have been cancelled and funds are down overall for all charitable organizations.”
