To Our Dear Friends Thank you for joining us tonight for the 3rd Annual Rebecca’s Hope Charity Cruise. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support that you have given to Rebecca’s Hope and to leukemia research at Princess Margaret Hospital.

Rebecca’s hope was to make a difference in the world and with your help she has. With her zest for life, courageous spirit and contagious smile, Rebecca has inspired us all to be “strong together”, and make a difference in her memory by supporting the leukemia researchers in their search for a cure. Your attendance this evening and your generous donations are helping us realize Rebecca’s hope.

We are happy to share with you that the funds raised from the past two Rebecca’s Hope cruises ($500,000) have already made a difference with the financial support of a clinical trial nurse and other study aspects related to improved treatments in the fight against leukemia. A large portion of these funds helped make the construction of a long awaited comfort lounge for patients and their families on the 14th floor. (see below) All proceeds from tonight’s event will continue to support and assist the dedicated researchers at Princess Margaret Hospital.

Today, many leukemia patients courageously battle this disease with hope – a hope that is so compassionately given to them and their families by the dedicated doctors, nurses, and support staff at Princess Margaret Hospital. On their behalf we would like to thank you for your partnership in this fight to help make a difference in their lives.

Let’s make this a night to celebrate and honour our Rebecca’s tireless spirit!

Have a great time and God bless you all,

Paul, Theo, Phil and Dave

Together We Have Made a Difference! Research has shown that a comfortable, nurturing environment in addition to the support of loved ones helps to build the positive attitude necessary for wellness and recovery. We are proud to announce that this fall will mark the grand opening of a very important room designed exclusively for the patients on the 14th floor at Princess Margaret Hospital. The project with the support of many donors has been several years in the works, but thanks to the overwhelming support of Rebecca’s Hope donors the dream of hospital staff and their patients’ families has come true. The 14th Floor Lounge will offer a comfortable, just-like-home space where patients and their family and friends can get together and relax, watch TV, play computer games, read a good book or enjoy a meal together. Thank you for helping to make their dream come true!
