Kids jump to help raise funds for 91大黄鸭 toddler with cancer

91大黄鸭鈥檚 Jump2It hosted a fundraiser for Elara Isagawa

Local business Jump2It hosted a fundraiser for 91大黄鸭 toddler Elara Isagawa, who is currently in Vancouver undergoing cancer treatment.

Jump2It is an indoor playground, with inflatable slides and bouncy castles. Jump2It鈥檚 marketing specialist Alexandra Krieger organized the fundraiser. She knows Elara鈥檚 grandmother personally and said she wanted to help the family using the tools she had.

鈥淭his (fundraiser) isn鈥檛 something the family is asking for, but I think the support and feeling supported is really important,鈥 Krieger said.

鈥淟ife doesn鈥檛 stop, bills don鈥檛 stop. So we want to show them we support them, both financially with the donations coming in, but also for a show of support: that the community stands behind them and is there for them.鈥

She added that the indoor playground was made for the community and this is their way of giving back to a city that has always supported them.

Elara was diagnosed with a tumour on Christmas Eve and has since gone through surgery to remove it.

She still has small tumour masses, but her family says they鈥檙e hopeful those will go away as she goes through chemotherapy.
