Covering the dining table
in the home of Mary Ellen
Jasper the morning of Oct. 11
was a kaleidoscope socks.
There were pairs stitched
with cartoon characters and
famous paintings. Some with
fuzzy pompoms and others
with elaborate patterns. All
were different and all were
colourful. And all were play-
ful and wam.
Lesley Zolob, Jasper's
friend and fellow IODE
member, has dubbed the
garments "happy socks" and
she collecting them to help
keep warm the feet of chil-
dren diagnosed with cancer
as they receive their treat-
ment and to give them a little
cheer during the process.
Called "Sock it to Cancer,"
Zolob started this donation
drive with the help of the
local IODE to pay forward
the same warmth and cheer
she has received from her
friends, family and
community.
"It started when I had my
surgery," Zolob said. "My
feet are always cold and so I
asked [my doctors] if I could
wear my socks during sur-
gery and my friends sent me
these great big fluffy socks."
Zolob was diagnosed in
May with a rare and aggres-
sive form of cancer, and she
goes to London every
Wednesday to receive chem-
otherapy treatment.
