Our Families

Each year, far too many children are newly diagnosed with childhood cancer or experience relapse. Every one of them touches us; they are our inspiration, the reason why we give our all to raising funds and providing programs and services that will make a difference. We’d like to introduce you to a few of them.

Dominic's Story: Glass Half full

Glass half full. This is the mindset we have done our best to hold strong to ever since we heard the words, ‘Dominic has cancer’.

Tara "Boom"

Some stories are etched in your heart long after you hear them. Stories of courage, love, and a kind of hope that refuses to fade, even in the face of heartbreak. This is one of those stories where sorrow is transformed into something extraordinary.

Ethan's Story

It was the summer of 2020 and Ethan’s family was filled with excitement and, of course, mixed with a few nerves, as Ethan prepared to start Junior Kindergarten. But in mid-August, their world was turned upside down.

Quinton's Story

Childcan came into our family’s lives on December 22nd, 2015. You are probably curious as to how I remember that specific date. It’s the exact date our 4 month old son was diagnosed with Infant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Micah's Story

On June 8, 2021, we took Micah to the Emergency Room in Strathroy with vomiting and headaches. We were sent to the Children’s Hospital in London immediately, where Micah was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Dominic's Firsts

Dominic was born on January 1, 2023, as Owen Sound hospital’s New Year’s baby. A first son for Ryan and Katt and baby brother to 3-year-old sister Blake.

Claire's Story

On February 25, 2020, only 6 days shy of her first birthday, my baby girl Claire Bear was rushed to the hospital after an urgent phone call from our family doctor. I remember that day vividly.
