Sunday will mark three years since 11-year-old Evelyn Roy passed away from cancer, but the child's legacy continues to live on as her family aims to raise critical funds for those in need.
It's why the Team Evelyn Foundation, in partnership with the Helping Families Handle Cancer Foundation,"I'll never forget the moment I was standing in the ER and the doctor was showing us CT scan images of a huge tumour in her abdomen," said Heather Roy, Evelyn's mother.
Evelyn had a deep passion for helping others during her life, having started a toy drive at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, and this recent initiative is something her family knows she'd be proud of. Evelyn's father, Mike Roy, agrees that his daughter's life will forever be remembered for her acts of kindness and spreading joy.
The Helping Families Handle Cancer Foundation is supporting Team Evelyn in reaching its fundraising goals as the organization aims to cover as many expenses as possible to help those with loved ones in hospital.She says her mother, Robyn, a then-single parent, would spend endless days making the hospital a second home.
