A local woman is staying awake for 51-hours, while raising money for local kids with leukemia. Margaret Losee is on a tour of local Tim Horton's locations, raising funds in memory of her nephew Elvin Wright who died of leukemia a year ago at the age of 25. She'll be at the west-end Woodstock location until 8 tonight, before going to the Devonshire location. You can't miss her in a bright yellow t-shirt. She'll be at the Norwich Ave. location early Tuesday morning, before finishing her wake-a-thon at the in Ingersoll tomorrow morning. "I want to finish up at Culloden Road in Ingersoll where my nephew worked. Tomorrow will be actually the 1-year anniversary of his death. So when I finish, that's when I'm going to sleep." Losee says it's the memory of her nephew, Elvin, that's keeping her going strong through the wake-a-thon, and not Tim's coffee, as she's "a tea drinker, not a coffee drinker". Over 7-thousand dollars had been raised so far, from an event at the Woodstock Moose Lodge Saturday night. The proceeds will help the families of Gabriel Smith and Olivia Romkes as their children battle the disease. Losee says the families have to face spiraling costs for travel, parking and missing work to bring their children to many treatments.
