As you know the yard sale supports the David Wielinga Memorial Fund, in memory of our son David, who died from cancer in 2006. We returned recently from the Sick Kids annual Sarcoma Symposium where we were finally able to present a cheque in the amount of $6,774.35, the proceeds raised from the yard sale, to Dr. David Malkin, the Senior re- search scientist for Rhabdomyosarcoma research. It’s this research that the money from David’s Foundation fund is used. The actual money was sent back in May, following the yard sale, so this was just the official presentation. Ihave attached a picture taken of our family present- ing the cheque to Dr. Malkin. Dr. Malkin was David's oncology doctor while he was at Sick Kids. He is also the senior research scientist that David’s foundation supports. Not only did we want to share with the town of Port Perry the final total of this year’s yard sale, but wanted to puta “face” on where that money is going. As a family, we are extremely grateful to our generous community for supporting the research done at Sick Kids. We really wanted the community to be able to see where their dollars are going. Thank you so much, Henry, Linda & William Wielinga Scugog Island Dr. David Malkin is seen here receiving a cheque in the amount of $6,774.35 from the Wielinga family in memory of their son David. From left of Dr. Malkin is Henry, Linda and William Wielinga.
