Seven-year-old Nolan Petch is organizing a Christmas toy drive in memory of his cousin and best friend Hunter Weston.
WOODSTOCK - A toy drive is happening this Christmas to honour the memory of Hunter Weston.
Hunter was only 4 years old when he lost his life to a rare form of cancer. His cousin 7 year old Nolan Petch is organizing the fundraiser as a way to honour and remember his best friend.
They will be having kick off event on November 21st, however you can donate new unwrapped toys, gift cards and monetary donations right now.
Nolan, his mom/Hunter's aunt Tarnya Petch and Hunter's parents Jay Weston and Sarah Brown will be delivering the toys to the Children's Health Foundation on December 11th.
Petch says Hunter would have turned 5 this year and Nolan was planning a drive by parade for him.
"After Hunter passed, Nolan did the Stay Up All Night fundraiser, where he raised $3,500 for Children's Hospital in Hunter's memory. Nolan said he still wanted to have a birthday party for Hunter, but he wanted to donate the toys to the kids hospital. That is how the ball got rolling on the fundraiser."
If you would like to donate, contact Hunter's aunt Taryna Petch at tarnyapetch@gmail.com. You can find more information about the fundraiser and kick off event online here.
