"She has to continue to her chemotherapy from home and many of the treatments and that are actually not covered, so there are just different expenses that keep coming up and we just want to make sure the family is comfortable, I mean money is not something they should have to worry about at a time like this." 

Fulton is organizing the even with her sister Becca Winn and she says they will have a bouncy castle as well and it promises to be a fun morning for the entire family. 

It's all happening at the RE/MAX parking lot in Tillsonburg on Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm.
