Sylvia Higgins Memorial Essay Awards

The Sylvia Higgins Essay Awards have been discontinued, however we still honour the memory of Sylvia Higgins, one of the founding members of LESS. Sylvia had lupus, but she believed in making each day count, living as normal of a life as possible as a wife, mother, nurse and a caring member of the community.
