Allie's Allies - A Portrait Fundraiser

For those of you that don't know me very well, my name is Carol-Ann Loeppky and I am a portrait photographer in Vancouver, BC. Back in September 2007 I had the pleasure to photograph the fairytale wedding for Allison and Jason. Even before their wedding, Allison’s story tugged on my heart strings. When she was only 4 years old she was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma – a childhood cancer. Her childhood was spent battling the disease, and against all odds – she was declared cancer free. Unfortunately in 2003 the cancer returned, and yet again she had to fight for her life. Allison defied the odds, and did so much while battling cancer – from gaining a diploma as a legal assistant, to planning her dream wedding. Unfortunately, on September 19th, 2008, only days before her first wedding anniversary, Allison passed away.

It is in her honour, that her husband Jason, and his teammates from Allie’s Allies is riding in the 2009 BC Ride to Conquer Cancer. "The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation is an epic cycling journey through Canada's Pacific region, for a distance of over 200 km. Proceeds will support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care at the BC Cancer Foundation, a leader in cancer research and care. "

According to the Canadian Cancer Society,
"On the basis of current incidence rates, 39% of Canadian women and 44% of men will develop cancer during their lifetimes." That statistic is absolutely alarming. Lets do this for Allie, and for every other Cancer fighter and survivor out there.

To support the team, Carol-Ann Photography is holding a portrait fundraiser at Barnet Marine Park on Sunday, May 24th from 11:00am-5:00pm.

For a minimum $30 donation you will receive a 15 minute photo session, and a complimentary 8x10 print. The full $30 will be donated to the Allie's Allies team for the Ride to Conqueror Cancer.

Families, couples, children, pets - everyone is welcome to join! To reserve a time slot, please contact us ASAP at info@carol-annphotography.com

To confirm your booking the $30 donation will be collected before hand. Donations can be mailed and addressed to Carol-Ann Loeppky (please email me for the address)
