Little girl shows she has a big heart By Brad Quarin For one little girl, this year’s Relay for Life campaign was deeply personal. “My nanny died of cancer, and I don’t want anyone else to,” says Sarah McClelland, 9. Her grandma, Teri Tapay, passed away in November. “This was her number one reason to wanting to raise funds,” says mom Jessica McClelland. The family was unable to attend the Relay for Life, but Sarah decided to show her support by drawing on her crocheting skills to make and sell bracelets before the event. She was taught how to crochet and sew by her other grandma. The summer provided ample time to work on the bracelets, as Sarah was out on a tractor with her dad for “really long days.” The tractor rides weren’t too bumpy for her while she crocheted. Selling the bracelets was a completely new experience. Sarah hadn’t sold anything before, except lemonade. The bracelets went for $3 each, and Sarah sold them at the Pincher Pioneer Country Market while her mom was selling paintings and ornamental blocks. One generous customer was Sarah’s grandpa, who bought two for $25. They had set a goal to make $300 on the bracelets. A final count revealed Sarah had raised $375, Jessica says. This cash and all other funds raised at Relay for Life will support cancer research.
