Sarnia teen honours mom with donation to St. Joseph's Hospice

A Sarnia teen launched a new fundraising effort in memory of her mother who died 10 years ago.

Regan Knowles, 19, designed a sweater inspired by her mother Carolynn who passed away from pancreatic cancer in June, 2011.

In three weeks, the Lambton College student sold 82 sweaters, collecting over $1,100 for St. Joseph's Hospice.

Knowles said she wanted to give back to the organization that is there for families during their most difficult times.
