The Jingle Bell Run for Arthritis is an annual family event hosted by the Alberta/N.W.T division of The Arthritis Society. In 2009 a copy of Icicle Hands and Icicle Knees was given to the winner in the child (0-7) category for the events held in Camrose, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Calgary.

Congratulations to the winners of our final 4 Icicle Hands draws, Shelly B in Stoney Creek, Summer S in Burlington, Karen L in Oakville and Dima in Mississauga. They have each won a $50 Please Mum gift card.

The Icicle Hands Event tour is now over, but stay tuned for more events and projects.

Thank you to the staff at every Please Mum store we visited on the tour. It was great to meet everyone.
