MAKING IT COUNT

Roots head office employee bakes and runs for a good cause

Leather Merchandise Flow Analyst Lee Fancy wants to help in the fight against breast cancer. To that end, he will be selling cookies at the Roots Head Office next week to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run For The Cure.

Lee, who recently found out that a close friend is fighting breast cancer for the second time, will be taking part in the CIBC Run in Toronto on October 1.

“It makes you realize that everyone out there probably knows someone who is fighting this terrible disease,” says Lee. “It could be your mother, aunt, sister or a friend. This is my way to support my friend and to show that everyone, including men, can do their little bit to help.”
In his own words, Lee makes ‘a mean cookie.’ He will be selling individual packs of the homemade chocolate-chip cookies in The Hub area of the Head Office on Tuesday, Sept. 12 for a suggested donation of $5. He hopes to raise at least $250.
