Cuddles for Cancer Faith Dickinson created Cuddles for Cancer when she was only 9 years old. What began as a summer project has grown into a globally recognized organization.

To date, more than 12,000 blankets have been & they’ve been sent to over 50 countries worldwide 💗 Faith created Cuddles for Cancer when she was just nine years old. After hearing that cancer patients often got cold during their treatments, Faith came up with the idea of making fleece blankets, hoping it would bring patients warmth, comfort and love. Since then, she has raised over $15,000 to help her make 700+ of her cuddle blankets. They have been sent all across Canada, the U.S. and to France, England and Australia. She has also created a signature 'soldier' blanket for her "Sponsor a Soldier" campaign for soldiers overseas and those suffering from injuries or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, many of these blankets have been sent to Afghanistan and Kuwait. She recently launched a campaign called Kids at Christmas, asking the community to sponsor a child to ensure every child admitted to her local hospital is given a cuddle blanket on Christmas Eve.
