MFD Accept Glitter Tattoo Challenge for Breast Cancer
Shanine Sealey, Martensville Messenger
Maizie Bowkowy, known also as ‘Princess
Maizie’, has had a busy month. Starting through a
fundraiser with her cheerleading team, Maizie decided to
offer glitter tattoos of the breast cancer ribbon to people,
with proceeds from the tattoos going to the C95 Radio
Breast Cancer Marathon. In just 13 days, Maizie managed
to sell a total of 355 tattoos, totalling an incredible $710
that was donated to the fundraiser Friday, October 21st at
Lawson Heights Mall. “I’m overwhelmed with the support
I received on my campaign from the many businesses and
the wonderful families that invited me into their homes
and shared their stories with me and to the many, many
people who came out to get a tattoo and raise awareness
and money for the C95 Radio Breast Cancer Marathon,”
Maizie stated through her Facebook page, ‘Your Everyday
Princess”. While making their donation, Princess Maizie
and Princess Chloe tattooed Rob and Shauna with C95 on
the Pink Warrior stage.
Maizie has always had a passion for helping
others, and explained what her motivation for selling the
breast cancer ribbon glitter tattoos is. “Well, my second
home, Warman Ultimate Cheerleading, has raised money
every October for breast cancer for as long as I can
remember. However, what is my fuel? Meeting and talking
with all the women, men and children in OUR community
who have been touched by this devastating cancer. I WILL
tattoo this pink ribbon until my fingers fall off, if that
means; another woman, man or child won’t have to face
this horrible disease,” Princess Maizie stated.
Part of her fundraiser was specifically targeting
men, because it makes a statement when people notice that
a man is wearing a pink glittery ribbon tattoo. Princess
Maizie also wanted to spread awareness that breast cancer
isn’t just a disease that affects women, as 220 men will
be diagnosed and 60 men will die from this disease in
Canada this year. On Wednesday, October 19th, Princess
Maizie and Princess Chloe visited the Martensville Fire
Hall and tattooed 18 members of the Martensville fire
Department. Maize had custom stencils that were donated
by Modern Memories – Custom Creations created for the
fire department.
Princess Maizie has no plans on stopping yet, as
she will continue to tattoo for the remainder of the month.
