Deanna King and Terri Kingston started a Facebook group in memory of 33 year old Tanya Shand of Rothesay and within 48 hours it had 5000 people.
Co-organizer Terri Kingston tells Tide News she identifies with Tanya as a mom and she wants to spread awareness about domestic violence.
Kingston says in the end Cheyenne lost both of her parents because of it adding she wants to see an end to domestic violence and she hopes her community would do the same for her and her kids if it happened to her.
The fundraiser for Cheyenne Shand is coming up on Sunday at the Q-plex from 11am to 3pm. Donations can be made in her name at any TD Canada Trust branch.
