Our Charity:
The primary purpose of Cupids Against Cancer is to raise money in support of programs provided by this unique and very special charity that is helping transform the lives of teens living with cancer.
Our link to the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation is a very special one. You see, Katy participated in a snowmobile expedition hosted by the Foundation in the spring of 2003. That experience helped her realize that, no matter what challenges life threw at her, she possessed the inner strength to tackle them head-on.
Our goal is to help the exceptional team at the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation, give other teens across Canada who are living with cancer, that same opportunity.
