The Canadian Cancer Society is hoping you’ll help fill a piggy bank to support cancer patients. 
Fundraising assistant Darcy Derbecker says they’re “adopting” out pink and blue pigs to collect donations.
“It supports our Wheels of Hope transportation service,” Derbecker says. “In 2015, the Chatham-Kent office provided 211 cancer patients with 3784 rides going to their appointments. Last year the bill for this program cost us over $92,000.”
Derbecker says the average cost to provide one ride is $50.
The Pigs of Hope banks can be found at a number of businesses around Chatham-Kent – including the CKXS James Street studio.
You can also get a pig for your home by contacting the Cancer Society office in Chatham.
The campaign was originally supposed to wrap up on December 11th, but has been extended until January 6th.
