On the eighth day of Chistmas, Melissa gets a visit from Santa Jasmyn

The concept of the 12 Days of Christmas is simple - people helping people. In this webisode, Santa Jasmyn visits Melissa Cutler, a young lady who faces several medical challenges daily including debilitating seizures due to epilepsy. Melissa's love for dance inspired the Sault Symphony Orchestra and Studio Dance Arts to give her 4 tickets to The Nutcracker Ballet on December 20 and our anonymous donor has provided a $500 bursary toward her post-secondary education.

Thank you to this episode's sponsors, Sault Symphony Orchestra and Studio Dance Arts.
