An Oakville family that has raised $66,000 in the Shoppart again over the weekend. Huether family inspired by their mom Jeannie "I wanted to make myself more aware of the situations that women face," she said. Carli said she remains shocked at how many people are diagnosed with the disease each year, and sees the 60-km, fundraising walk held each September in Toronto, as a means to improve people's chances of beating cancer. According to Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) statistics, more than 500 Canadians are diagnosed with cancer every day -- and more than 200 die from the disease each day. Steven, who was just 11 when his mom was diagnosed, said he didn't fully grasp the situation. "I thought she'd go, have it done and come home and everything would be good." Meanwhile Bill recalls being scared by the news. "When you're that young, you automatically associate cancer with death," he said. Jeannie underwent treatment at Toronto's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and was then cancer-free for nearly a decade. However, in 2010 Jeannie learned she had a recurrence of the disease. "Mom was diagnosed again. What's the opportunity that you're going to beat it twice?" asked Carli through tears.

They well recall when Jeannie Huether was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. "We all dealt with it in our own way," said Carli. "I wanted to join the walk to support my mom and other members of our family who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. inside today's Editorial Sports Beaver www.insideHALTON.com 6 25 Artscene Classified 24 28 *All flyers not necessarily delivered to all homes For home delivery & customer service call 905-631-6095, 5300 Harvester Rd., Burlington New subscriptions call 905-631-6095 or subscribe online @ www.oakvillebeaver.com Yet, following a second round of treatments at Mississauga's Credit Valley Cancer Centre, Jeannie again emerged victorious. "It really is a miracle that someone can beat it twice," Carli said. While the Huethers did not walk in this weekend's fundraiser, they participated in another way by operating a hydration station for the walkers. "It's become something you can't imagine not being part of," Carli said. "We got involved for the obvious reasons, but now we're there to support all women, to better the future for ourselves, for our kids, for everyone." Jeannie said she's "very, very proud" of her children. This year's event took place out of the Rogers Centre and saw 3,639 walkers help raise more than $8 million for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre by walking either one day (32 km) or two days (60km). Clockwise from left, the Huether family -- Bill, Jeannie, Steven and Carli -- participated in the Shoppers Drug Mart Weekend to End Women's Cancers last weekend in Toronto. Over the years, the family has raised $66,000 for the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. | submitted photo New Patients Welcome!

My office offers a wide range of complete modern dental care in a state of the art facility. Dr. Stephen Phelan, DDS Before WINDOWS & DOORS After One area that is a focus of my practice is to help the many people suffering from advanced tooth wear and erosion. It seems this is a problem that is increasing but it can be treated if caught before it is too late. The main issue if you feel you suffer from any form of tooth wear is protection and prevention. If your tooth wear has been diagnosed at an early stage you can concentrate on preventing further tooth wear with diet modification, protective dental appliances and some limited dental bonding to restore the small areas of attrition or erosion. If tooth wear has progressed to the point that your protective enamel has been worn away and you have exposed your inner dentin you will likely need a more comprehensive solution. The pictures included are an example of a patient with severe attrition, erosion and bite collapse that I solved with a full mouth rehabilitation using porcelain restorations. If you suffer from tooth wear or other advanced dental problems, I would like to invite you to call my office to arrange a personal consultation appointment.
