This August a local 12-year-old Grande Prairie boy will be trekking from Grande Prairie to Grande Cache. Brysen Howe has been fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society over the years and has raised over $8000.00 by doing fundraisers such as singing in the mall, bottle drive, selling teddy bears and asking for donations in lieu of gifts. He decided he wanted to raise money for the CCS in 2011, at the age of four, when his great grandpa was diagnosed with cancer.

He plans on walking 184 km from Grande Prairie to Grande Cache this Summer. The event is planned for the last week of August. His goal was to raise $2000.00 in this short period of time, so that he can have the privilege of having raised a total of over $10000.00 for the Canadian Cancer Society and he has surpassed that amount already!
