Kick for a Cure Iniative

The Kick for a Cure Initiative is about finding a cure for Childhood Cancer. Over the past 4 years, it has grown substantially from just a Soccerfest to raise funds and awareness for Childhood Cancer and now has several off-shoots, such a Healing Wheels, the Wishes Without Borders Gala Dinner and the CBSA Toy Drive. All the funds they raise go to the Michael Cuccione Foundation's Laboratory at BC Children's Hospital.

Kick for a Cure Iniative

This video came together with a life all it's own. Originally we intended to follow some children playing soccer and parents talking about the importance of the foundation, and then Dominic had to go in for another spinal tap and treatment and the staff at BC Children's were welcoming to a camera following Dominic through his treatment. With the song 'Rain' contributed by the ever talented Eric Harper this video grew into a piece that we are all very proud of and that invites all who are willing to join in and say: We will not rest until a cure is found.
