Mum was a very giving person. She had a very rare disease and volunteered for trial drugs, allowed medical students to study her etc. Her wishes were to donate her body to research and to give the gift of life.
In her wishes, she would want donations vs. flowers. She's feel good about continued research and aid in any of the following charities:
SCLERODERMA SOCIETY OF ONTARIO
TORONTO GENERAL & WESTERN HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
ARTHRITIS & AUTOIMMUNITY RESEARCH CENTRE FOUNDATION
DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS
DONATION OPTIONS:
You can donate directly to each charity, or we've set up a 'giving page' that allows you to donate directly on line without all the fuss. I believe a small portion goes to the administration for managing the site. Entirely up to you, but she would feel good knowing others would benefit from donations.
