Hope for Joy - 2010 "Dancing in the Rain"

Hope for Joy is open to writers of all ages who have been influenced by a terminal illness or a loss and have become inspired or found hope through the experience. The contest allows writers to express their emotions, share their experience while demonstrating writing skill and helping others who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness or have experience loss of another kind.

This is Hope for Joy's first year and we look forward to a success that will lead to many subsequent years of publishing and sharing of stories, generating awareness of and helping those who have been diagnosed with ALS. Currently Hope for Joy is raising funds for the ALS Society of Alberta and plans to expand its reach in the future.
