Sask's biggest snow rainbow painted in Moose Jaw for girl with rare disorder
The snow rainbow is about size of a hockey rink and dyed with food colouring
A Moose Jaw man who set out to accomplish 1,000 good deeds is pulling off number 300 on Sunday.
Clayton Finnell has built a rainbow out of snow and food colouring at the Yara Centre in Moose Jaw for Maranda Mauro, a Regina girl with a rare disorder.
Maranda loves collecting rainbows and Finnell says she was blown away by this one.
"She doesn't want Disneyland, she doesn't want a unicorn, she just wants pictures of rainbows," Finnell said.
I told her I'd make the biggest rainbow for her and this was the best I could do."
The snow rainbow ended up being 30 metres long and 15 metres wide.
Dozens of volunteers helped. A local company donated the food colouring.
"It is overwhelming that someone would take the time, put so much effort into a stranger's life, to make a little girl he doesn't know, trying to put a smile on her face," said Crystal Beach, Maranda's mother.
Mauro suffers from a condition called Andersen-Tawil Syndrome.
According to a Facebook site monitored by Mauro's mother, it's an extremely rare disorder that causes muscle weakness, changes in heart rhythm and developmental abnormalities. Only 100 people worldwide have been diagnosed with the disorder.
