Below is the full press release from ARCH Hospice:

ARCH is thrilled to announce that Debbie Lovelace has won $13,850 from the August 50/50 Grand Prize Draw with ticket #B-5910223. Lovelace was very happy to receive the good news as this is the biggest prize she has ever won!

Although Debbie has no direct connection to Hospice, she is no stranger to the power of community and support, having faced her own experiences with loss. She has generously supported the ARCH 50/50 Lottery because she believes in the care that ARCH provides. “A person's a person, no matter how small,” Lovelace said, emphasizing her deep respect for the dignity of all individuals.

As a retired family support facilitator with the Timmins Native Friendship Centre, the winner proudly supports compassionate care in her community. She shared the importance of “talking to the person, not the disease.” Thank you, Debbie, for your words of wisdom and for your support!
