This project originated with the strong belief that it is important for every individual to give back to the community, and is made as a tribute to Joshua. At the age of 3, completely out of the blue, Joshua began having seizures. The seizures went from one a day to - two days later - 25 a day. The seizures began in his eyes, then his arms, then his whole body, with even his breathing becoming problematic. It was a very stressful time for his parents. His mother describes it as having her heart "cracked in a million pieces." There is nothing worse than watching your child suffer and be unable to do anything. Joshua needed surgery in order to stop having seizures. He is now healthy and happy thanks to SickKids hospital. We would like to donate our proceeds to SickKids Hospital so that more children like Joshua can continue living healthy, happy lives.

This project incorporates not only fun images of children, but also encourages healthy eating habits.

If you would like to donate or purchase a calendar, you can also call Michele at 905-495-2821 or email:

Testimonial:
"It is important to eat your fruits and vegetables so you will grow."
"It is important to raise money for the hospital so kids won't be sick anymore. So they can stop throwing up and be at home and get presents and feel better."

"Lily loved your calendar so much that I had to hide it so that it would survive 2009! Because of it she even tried Broccoli! Well, she tried to put it on her head like Michael, but then she actually tasted it... a definite step in the right direction! Thanks!" Nicole - parent
