Media will always have to report on the tough stuff. But we know that Canada is full of compassionate individuals, inspiring projects and stories worth celebrating. Here’s just one.
Most of us have a lot on our plate. Ed McKay, whose family has overcome many obstacles, actually hopes to have a lot on his plates ... and his cups and his collectibles.
That’s because McKay is pairing his love for antiques with a cause that’s close to his family.
When his grandson, Spencer, was born, McKay and his family were told he wasn’t going to make it. Spencer is now 14 years old, with a fund in his name for the families of children undergoing treatment at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax.
For many years, McKay has been collecting antique cups and plates. Now he’s selling them on eBay and donating the proceeds to Spencer’s fund.
Do you have old or antique china? Sell or donate it to the fund. Help families beat the odds (and take a little off Ed’s plate).
