Raising money for Frank

Students at St. John Baptist Catholic Elementary School in Hamilton were raising money for a very important cause Thursday.

Local business owner Frank Italiano is fighting cancer. He’s been through chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. As a last resort he is taking medication not covered by OHIP. The medication costs him 15 thousand dollars per dose which he takes every three weeks. Students will be selling ‘Chance for Frank’ bracelets for 2 dollars. One student cut her hair to help raise funds as well as raise awareness about cancer.
