Re: CAShh, Cancer Society campaigns differ (April 11 letter).

I would like to add a thought to the excellent letter shared by Anna-Mae Moore.

Ms. Moore wrote that we have a choice about our charitable donations, "we can donate to the Canadian Cancer Society... or to Cancer Assistance Services of Halton Hills." In fact, Halton Hills offers a number of choices for charitable donations to help fight cancer.

At Georgetown Hospital, for example, we perform breast cancer surgery including use of leading-edge sentinel node biopsy techniques. We are a designated Ontario Breast Screening Site, we complete hundreds of advanced screening procedures every year for early detection of colo-rectal, breast, and numerous other forms of cancer, we have two busy operating suites with 3,000 procedures each year, and we provide compassionate palliative care close to home for residents of Halton Hills.

CAShh and the Cancer Society do important, invaluable work and they deserve all the support we can give them. At the same time, The Georgetown Hospital Foundation is also a strong partner in the fight against cancer, right here in Halton Hills.
