calendarofhope january2014

Following the huge success of last year's Calendar for Hope, local moms, Nicole Scobie and Martine Rawyler, have produced a new calendar for 2014, which they hope will raise even more money than before!

Like last year, all profits from sales of the calendar will go directly to two Swiss charities, who work closely with families affected by childhood cancer: Force Fondation (www.forcefondation.ch) and ARFEC (www.arfec.ch).

In anticipation of the ever-increasing demand for her calendars, Nicole and Martine have printed 1000 copies this year. Last time just 200 copies were printed and there were so many orders that more had to be printed to meet demand! 

Nicole told knowitall.ch, "There are 28 kids in this year's calendar. Some have finished their treatment and are in remission. Some are still in the middle of the battle. And some have left us. We are honoured to have all of these heroes participating this year."

Last year, over Fr. 17,000.- was raised for the two charities, who work closely with families such as Nicole's and Martine's, who have been affected by childhood cancer.  Nicole's own son, Elliot, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 4 years old. Living away from her home country, Canada, and all the hands-on support one would normally expect from close relatives, Nicole's family began a long, difficult journey, which saw Elliot spend much of his time in hospital, in the company of many other children, also bravely fighting the same battle. Elliot is now one of the lucky children who are in remission. The Calendar of Hope is Nicole's way of expressing her family's gratitude for all the support she has received over the last couple of years, and to help other families like hers in the future.

The calendars cost just Fr. 20.- (+ postage) and can be ordered online from the calendar website at www.smallheroes.org. Please join Know-it-all passport in helping to bring yet more smiles to the faces of these brave children, especially those featured on this year's calendar!
