When Stratford Rotarian Gordon Gibbons read about Emily Foreman's medical battle in last week's Stratford Press, he was moved to help.
"To give her a chance, to help her get the treatment she needed, it was something I thought I could help a little with."
Emily, 21, needs immunotherapy aftera cancerous tumour in her main saliva gland led to multiple lesions across her lungs.
Gordon took Emily's story to the next Stratford Rotary Club meeting and members discussed how they could help. Chairman Barrie Smith says helping Emily fits in with the Rotarian aspect of Rotary Club.
"We were all moved by Emily's story and agreed we could help in some way."
