The Grade 9 student overcame two bouts of leukemia: one when she was five years old and the second when she was nine. She has been in remission since August 2012 after receiving a bone marrow transplant in Vancouver at B.C. ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Hospital.

Through her years of doctors appointments, chemotherapy and other treatments, she spent a lot of time travelling to Vancouver.

B次元官网网址淚t took up a lot of time for travelling and stuff,B次元官网网址� Hamilton said. B次元官网网址淚t was kind of a pain.B次元官网网址�

The school raised $10,000 through a fun fair carnival and silent auction at the school last May and the money will be donated to B.C. Childhood Cancer ParentB次元官网网址檚 Association today (Nov. 20) at a school assembly.

The school hopes the money can be used to get children with cancer treatment on the Island so they donB次元官网网址檛 have to go to Vancouver as often.

B次元官网网址淭he money was raised for children with pediatric cancer and it will go directly to help families on Vancouver Island,B次元官网网址� said Brian Hobson, head of DunsmuirB次元官网网址檚 soccer academy.

B次元官网网址淭he whole school was involved in this and it was really a community effort.B次元官网网址�
