At the Canadian Country Music Awards a few years ago I met an incredible Alberta singer/songwriter named Shelly Dubois.

Her dynamic personality was an instant hit with mine and we became great friends.

Shelly Dubois and Jody Seeley CCMA's 2012

Through conversations I learned more about Shelly's story and her losing her daughter Chantelle to cancer.  Shelly said she looked for a book to help her through her grief but couldn't find one at the time that talked about losing a child to cancer.  So, she thought she should write one.  And it's now published.

Shelly joined us on the Morning Show to share some of her story

She will be at the Century Casino on Sunday May 15 to help raise money for the Helping Families Handle Cancer Foundation (http://helpingfamilieshandlecancer.com/)

1:00pm $20 at the door.  She will share songs, a book reading and signing.

More details on facebook.
