Fun and Festivities
October was Farley Month!
Each year during the month of October the team at the Markham Veterinary Clinic team fundraises for the Farley Foundation. The Farley Foundation was established by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association in 2001. It offers financial assistance to help cover the cost of providing necessary veterinary care for sick and injured pets that belong to low-income seniors, people with disabilities and women at risk of abuse who are participating in the OVMA’s SafePet program, who cannot otherwise afford treatment for their pets. For further information please visit www.farleyfoundation.org. |
This year was no exception!

Shania’s Sunflower of Hope
The Johnston family belongs to “Whiskey” one of our patients. Shania Johnston was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in June of 2006 and she began fundraising that August by selling beaded necklaces, bracelets and key chains. She called her fundraising efforts “Shania’s Sunflower of Hope”. The Johnston Family has shown us incredible strength and Compassion; they have been a source of inspiration to our entire team. The Markham Veterinary Clinic has chosen to follow their commitment to finding a cure for Neuroblastoma and help to raise money for Shania’s cause. To learn more about Shania’s Sunflower of Hope you can visit her website at http://ca.geocities.com/shaniasunflowers/index.html
