A special fundraiser has been launched in support of West Kent councillor Melissa Harrigan’s battle against breast cancer. Former councillor Mark Authier and his wife Lynn are selling “Her fight is our fight” t-shirts.
Harrigan announced her cancer diagnosis in mid-December, shortly after being re-elected to her second term on municipal council. She has temporarily stepped aside from her council duties to focus on treatment and recovery, as well as advocating for screening, early detection and preventative health care for women.
The shirts are $20 each and come in sizes youth extra small up to adult 4XL. $5 from each shirt sales will go towards a cancer support or help program, which will be chosen by Melissa and her family.
If you’d like to order a shirt, contact the Authiers at ipstilbury@gmail.com.
