I have four JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) this one is for my brother, The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America because I am an Asthmatic and I have Allergies, and The Cancer Society because everyone in my family in one way or another has been affected by it, and The ASPCA because I have three cats and I know that without the ASPCA animals would not have a voice.

Every year here, we have a telethon that runs for 24 hours. It is televised and showcases home grown talent. All of the people audition for their parts and are chosen from among thousands. When they get their letter saying they have been chosen they begin to canvas for funds. Aside from individual pledges there are pancake breakfasts, hoop tosses, walkathons and bike-a-thons. There is a jail'n'bail and beard shaving contests. Anything to spur people to give. It is hosted by the Kinsmen and Kinettes and it has brought in as much as 3 million in 24 hours. Pretty good for a province with a population under a million. I have had the good fortune to be one of the talents showcased, along with my daughter, who was ten at the time. All the proceeds from this go to help disabled and handicapped people. It is a noble cause and everyone here knows someone who has been touched by the generosity of Telemiracle.

Sickle Cell Disease Association
My late husband had this disease all thirty-two years of his life.
I believe that people should choose charities that mean something to them on a personal level.

March of Dimes. I like the idea of people being able to live in the community even if they have a challenge in life.

I donate to the homeless shelter that works with homeless children. I also have a cat area named after me at the local animal shelter. I give a lot. I also help out with reading programs. Because if you can't read you can't help your self!!
