Faith's Footsteps

Faith Abbey will once again be setting out on a walk to raise childhood cancer awareness.

Last year she walked from London to Sarnia to raise money for Childcan, this year, she's walking the other direction.

Spokesperson Rebecca Reading says the three day walk will begin at King George VI Public School Tuesday morning.

Reading says you can donate directly to Faith during her walk, or at www.faithsfootsteps.com.

Faith Abbey was only 18 months old when she was diagnosed with liver cancer. Now 11-years-old, she has been disease free for nine years.

Last year they were able to raise $24,000 well surpassing their goal of $10,000.
