To honour the memory of a family friend who died of cancer, Ursuline Convent fifth-form student Michael Hall on Monday donated $780 to help women in their battle against breast cancer.Presenting the funds that were raised through the sale of ties during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Hall said he created the project with the hope of assisting the Breast Cancer Society in his small way.“One of the reasons I wanted to help was because I kept hearing about the large number of women dying from breast cancer. Last year, I experienced this personally when Auntie Sophie [Sophia Lisk] lost her battle. Auntie Sophie was instrumental in convincing my sister and I to enter the [Barbados Entrepreneurship Foundation] $20 Challenge and she later became a close family friend.“She offered guidance and support when we needed it; therefore, I wanted to honour her memory by joining the fight for other women battling this disease,” the teenager said.
