You’ll probably see Manitoba’s newest specialty licence plates in Brandon soon to help fund research into childhood cancer.
They feature a bright gold ribbon (the colour for childhood cancer) and the ‘Cure Childhood Cancer’ phrase across the bottom.
The new plates, which are administered by Manitoba Public Insurance, are now available for purchase. They’ll cost $70, with $30 from every plate purchase going toward the Madox’s Warriors Foundation, which is committed to consulting with the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba and CancerCare Manitoba to determine how funds would best be utilized prior to making donation decisions.
Madox Suzio passed away of a brain tumour in 2014.
His family says “These plates are honouring and representing those children who have lost their lives to cancer, those currently fighting, and those who will one day be diagnosed.”
