Seven-year-old Eden Makaro of Watch Lake has had enough of witnessing how cancer affects the people she loves.
Her grandmother just recovered from breast cancer, a cousin recently beat cervical cancer and a great-aunt passed away from cancer.
The disease makes her angry and she plans to do her part in combating it.
On Oct. 27, Eden, her family and friends will hold a family fun day at 70 Mile House Community Hall where she will cut her long hair to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation.
She is taking pledges and a pledge sheet can be found at 70 Mile House General Store.
Eden wants people to come to the event, make a cash donation and enjoy the day.
There will be a Halloween costume party with prizes, games, a cakewalk, silent auction, hotdogs and a pumpkin carving competition. People must bring their own pumpkin.
The event goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
People can make online pledges at http://my.e2rm.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=1664733&langPref=en-CA.
