Shelley Martineau
The owner of Shawville’s Giant Tiger is thanking everyone who took part in supporting a long-time employee.
Brandyn Gauthier says a spaghetti dinner fundraiser back on Saturday, November 4th, saw just over $7,000 raised to help Shelley Martineau as she re-enters her fight with lung cancer.
Martineau began treatment earlier this year after learning that the lung cancer she had surgically removed in 2018 had returned.
The dinner, which was co-hosted by the Bryson Lionettes, was put together to give her a steady cash flow while she steps back from her position at the store for treatment.
Leftovers from the dinner were reportedly sent to the Bouffe Pontiac, the food bank where Martineau has volunteered much of her time.
