We Love Tori Party

Oakville, ON: November 7, 2010 – When the community at the Clear View Church learned of Victoria Berezowski’s Hodgkins Lymphoma, ten church members volunteered to shave their heads in solidarity with her as she undergoes chemotherapy. They also raised $10,000 in three weeks for the Sick Kids hospital.

The article I wrote for the Oakville Beaver can be found here.
