 Moncton Combat Challenge Team will be again be making their moves on cancer with their 2010 fund raising events. Included are car washes and the sale of their calender which was introduced last year with great success. F.A.C.E. is privileged to be a recipient of part of their fund raising efforts. Click on http://www.monctoncombatchallengeteam.com/events.php for events and how you can show them you care by participating and donating. The team members continually prove that the giving circle just doesn't stop with them. Showing your support gives them the opportunity not only to help us at F.A.C.E. conquer cancer but millions of others effected with cancer as well. |

 My name is Tim Catterall. For the last 22 years I have been employed as a professional firefighter in Burlington, Ontario, Canada and a proud member of the Burlington Professional Firefighters Association Local 1552. In November 2004, at the age of 48, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
Being diagnosed with cancer changes many lives, not only for those that have the cancer but their friends and families as well. At first I didn’t want anyone to know about my disease and I really don’t know why.Was it because I felt guilty and thought it was my fault that this happened to me? Did I think others would now look at me differently? I was unsure of the answers to these questions, so I stayed quiet. With time and gained knowledge of my disease, accepting what had happened to me brought on the desire to help other people in similar situations. I started by selling wristbands for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Friends and family stepped up and supported me in my endeavor.
