December, 2009 – Boutique on Feet, a traveling and online boutique, is donating a portion of their proceeds to a local family whose little girl is suffering from a rare form of cancer. When online purchases are made from December 4th through December 18th, 40% of those sales will go to the Potvin Family.

Ellie Potvin was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in the summer of 2008. She went in to remission this past summer, but just 3 months later, relapsed. Ellie also has a twin sister, Grace, who has been by her side as her sister suffers this awful disease.

Although the Potvin Family continues to be hopeful and prayerful, they have also been informed by the doctors that Ellie’s life is in a critical stage right now. They are doing all they can to provide as much happiness to Ellie’s life each and every day.

After hearing how the Potvin family is scheduled to go on a Disney Cruise for the holidays, we wanted to do a little something to help with the finances.

Boutique on Feet was developed by Erica Gold and Shelley Fontana as a way to offer trendy fashions, at reasonable prices. It’s a “girls night out” that can take place in the comfort of your own home. They also have an online store that provides handbags, jewelry, fashion and accessories.

Charlotte author John Cunningham recently published a non-fiction book, “My Girls”. His story of believing he had everything in life and then realizing he didn’t, until he met his wife and his daughter came into the world.

Ellie Shoal Potvin, a precious child known for “Specializing in being Kind” at only 6 years of age, Ellie was diagnosed July 2, 2008 with a rare childhood cancer called Stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma. To her parents shock they learned only 3% of children in the United States have this type of rare pediatric cancer. Out of the 350 children total diagnosed per year, only 175 children have a survival rate past 5 years. The Potvin family is devastated by this crushing prognosis, yet have promised not stop fighting the odds till their precious twin daughter, Ellie, is cured of all cancer.

John is having a book signing at the Borders at Stonecrest from 12PM-2PM this Saturday, November 21st.

By visiting the website, you can easily make a donation to the Lift Up Ellie Fund.

The majority of the proceeds will go towards Ellie whose cancer is getting worse. Read more about Ellie at www.liftupellie.com.
