Thanks a million!

We have raised over one and one half million dollars for cancer research, and other programs, through the sale of Comfort Hearts, in a partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society.

Hundreds of thousands of individual have joined my team that I affectionately call the 'Holders of the Heart.' If you own a Comfort Heart you're on my team. Think positive thoughts each time you see a Comfort Heart. Wear it around your neck, hold it in your hand, put it on your key chain, tuck it away in your pocket or leave it somewhere so you can see it every day – whatever works for you.

Over the years, I have met thousands of individuals who have their own Comfort Heart stories to share. Many have found unique ways to pass the Comfort Heart on and keep the Initiative alive. I have received over 1000 letters, from all over the world, with precious personal stories inside. A few of these stories are capture in 'From the Heart,' a book I co-wrote with Deanna Jones from the Halifax offices of the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Comfort Heart Initiative is my volunteer project dedicated to the memory of my mother, Mary Rose Cole (d'Entremont.)  In January of 1992, Mom and I were both diagnosed with breast cancer.  She died the same year - cancer killed her. It came back for me a second time sixteen years later. I won that battle too.  I will never give up - never! This is my way of remembering my mother while giving back to the cancer community. She continues to influence me in all that I do.
