There are no words to describe how excited I am to be stepping into the role of President & CEO at the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. I’ve already discovered that one of the best things about my

job is hearing the stories from patients, doctors, care providers, researchers, donors, and families. There are some outstanding organizations and individuals who can only be described as inspiring, and in allowing us to share their stories we can help inspire others to want to make a difference. Sharing their stories of hope, healing and discovery in Hero and at official and informal functions, brings home why we are here and the importance of the work we can accomplish together.

I’m fortunate to be arriving with some prior knowledge of the Stollery’s reputation and what it brings to the community. The care children receive is world class, and that has created a legacy for the future because it means more children are leaving the hospital with better outcomes and living long, healthy lives. That kind of success doesn’t just happen, and it’s certainly clear that it’s through the donors to

the Foundation that we have helped map this route to world-class care. I can’t think of anything else that holds the same breadth or depth of impact on our future than the health of our kids.

In this issue of Hero, you’re going to learn more about the impact of legacies through our stories. James was one of the first patients at the Stollery and now he’s a dad to a healthy, happy baby boy. The team at the Stollery who cared for James were pretty thrilled to see this new arrival, and fully understand the wow factor of one of their critically ill patients healing and starting his own family.

You’ll also learn about the Webb family’s community commitment. For generations this family has supported the community, and now Mike and Jane Webb are sharing this philanthropic philosophy with their children. And then there are the donors to the 2011/12 Expansion Campaign. This expansion campaign also included the new pediatric emergency, which is the only pediatric emergency in central and northern Alberta. This is a legacy project that will provide care for thousands of children and their families for many years to come. We’re honoured to have the opportunity to say thank you to the dedicated community members who contributed to this campaign, and while we hope you never have occasion to use the emergency, we’re certainly proud that this child friendly emergency department is in our backyard.

To all of you who work to keep the Stollery Children’s Hospital a world-class hospital, thank you for your support. Through your commitment to the kids, we’re helping to send more children home to their families than ever before.

Happy holidays, everyone!

I f a medical report was your first introduction to Keaton Littlefair, you would be expecting to meet a frail child with very little enthusiasm for life. Let me assure you the real

life model is something quite different.

Keaton’s parents, Kelli and Scott, knew they had a baby on the way that was going to have health issues. It was at the twenty-week ultrasound that his kidney was measured at 1 mm larger than the normal range and that was enough of a flag for some special tracking. As he developed in utero, it became clear that Keaton had a duplex kidney on the left side (two renal sacs, two ureters), which is fairly common and usually insignificant. The normal course of treatment was taken at birth, but the situation didn’t resolve. As time progressed, there were other health issues diagnosed and Keaton has had many surgeries and hospital visits since birth. For this nine-year-old, life is not simple and dealing with chronic pain is part of a regular day.

“There’s no point in chasing a name for his condition,” says Kelli. “The challenge is that he looks like a very normal boy on the outside, so it’s hard for people to understand what’s going on inside.” I can understand this as I watch Keaton “cannon ball” off the diving board at the Terwillegar Recreation Centre. This is a good day and he’s having a lot of fun in the water. Swimming is

one of his favourite sports and the one his body can best tolerate, because the buoyancy of the water takes the stress off the body and limits the pain he experiences. “He’s very determined to be like everyone else, so that’s what drives him and that drives us,” adds Kelli. “He’s missed a fair bit of school and he doesn’t like to miss a day. He may say no to a movie, but never to school; he finds ways to push through.”

When I asked Kelli how Keaton’s many health challenges have impacted his interaction with others, she was thoughtful in her reply. “It has made him very compassionate and intuitive. He’s the one who notices if another child seems to be having a difficult time and will go out of his way to help. For our family, we wouldn’t be the same without what we have gone through. Together we’re stronger.” When Keaton asks why this has happened to him, the only thing Kelli and Scott seem sure of is that he must be bound for something great. There doesn’t seem to be any other explanation for why someone so little would be asked to endure so much.

Keaton has dreams of becoming a doctor or veterinarian, and is already a philanthropist having raised money for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. I watched as he swam and whirled and dove into the water, feeling honoured to share this day of relative health. As our day ended and swim time came to a close there was still the beautiful smile, the twinkle in his eye and a fearless heart of hope. Just another day in the life of a hero.

At the Heart of the MatterCritical heart surgery was once not available at the Stollery by Theresa Shea

J ames Coughlan isn’t your average 23 year old. When he was born, doctors quickly realized he had a problem, and his parents weren’t sure what to expect when they

learned their newborn had a congenital heart defect known as the transposition of the great arteries (TGA). “That means my arteries were on the wrong side of my heart,” James translates. In a healthy heart, the aorta is connected to the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery is connected to the right ventricle. In children born with TGA, the exact opposite occurs resulting in ‘blue’ deoxygenated blood circulating in the body while ‘red’ oxygenated blood circulates in the lungs.

Once a fatal defect, today TGA can be treated surgically and the outlook for babies born with this condition is very good. In 1989, when James’s heart condition was identified, a pediatric cardiologist was called in and performed a temporary procedure that involved enlarging a hole in the wall separating the two upper chambers of the heart to oxygenate the blood. “That was a quick fix,” James explains, “and they put me on oxygen and gave me blood transfusions.” A week later, he had his first open heart surgery.

Many challenges exist in the treatment of childhood illness and/or disease. Perhaps most telling for James was that his

infant body and heart were growing. The surgery, done when he was a week old, was sufficient to help a small heart; however, a year later, one of the arteries that had been repaired was now narrowing. The Stollery specialists could tell there was a problem because one-year-old James didn’t have enough energy and was often sick. Doctors discovered that scar tissue had built up around this artery, necessitating further surgery.

James’ second open heart surgery (which had to be done in Montreal because of a lack of resources in Edmonton in 1990) corrected the issue, but as James continued to grow he would require two more open heart surgeries.

“I was in the hospital a fair bit when I was a child,” James explains. Over the years, he’s had dozens of “cardiac caths” where doctors advance a catheter through the blood vessels in the leg and up into his heart. “The tough thing about the cardiac caths was keeping my leg still for 6 hours.”

When James was 6, he had a stent put into one of his lung blood vessels to treat a narrowing that had developed. “This was my first real memory of being in the hospital. I don’t remember the earlier times.” Every couple of years, the stent had to be expanded so that it would, in effect, grow with him. This is done in the cardiac cath lab with special balloons.

By the time James required his third open heart surgery, when he was 16, the Stollery Children’s Hospital had officially opened, and its focus on children helped him immensely. “The Stollery is a very unhospital-ly hospital,” he says. “The people there understand that if your mood is better, you will heal better. That makes it easier. They have the Beach, which is great, and all the staff are incredible. It’s like a home away from home. When I had my open heart surgery at 16, I was scared, but not as scared as I might have been because I was just going to the Stollery. It didn’t seem like such a big deal because it was such a welcoming place.”

Because James’ heart had been operating without a pulmonary valve, one chamber was starting to expand and it became necessary to put a valve back in to stop the backflow. The best option for this surgery was to use a valve from a pig’s heart.

Although the surgery itself was successful, James contracted a blood infection after the operation. Doctors had to open his scar back up to clean out the infection. He spent an additional two weeks in the hospital. At one point, his heart rate dropped to 17 beats a minute, so the doctors put in a pacemaker.

Five years later, at 21, James needed yet another open heart surgery. This time, he knew exactly what he was in for, and he was scared. “Recovery is hard,” he admits. “And I was engaged at that point, to Kayla, so I felt like I had more to lose. Even though I was kind of used to being in the hospital, it was still scary.” The pig valve they’d put in when he was sixteen had worn out. “I’d done so much growing between 16 and 21,” James says, “that I needed a bigger valve.” The surgery was a success.

To date, James has undergone four open heart surgeries, and each one involved having his sternum opened to access the heart. For his last surgery doctors used a bovine heart valve because it’s

larger. The hope is that the valve will last longer. Even so, James can expect to have the valve replaced every ten to twelve years.

Despite his many surgeries, James doesn’t have any lingering health problems, and he only takes one baby aspirin three times a week. He’s also very nonchalant about his heart condition and speaks about his surgeries as if they were no big deal. “I’m an optimistic person, for sure,” he says. “My mom always calls me a Pollyanna, but I’m a lot like her. She always finds a silver lining, too.”

This past year brought a significant change for James, as he and Kayla welcomed a son into their lives. Jude is 8 months old, and his father is as proud as can be. “There’s no way I’m not going to be around to watch my son grow,” he says with confidence. “I’m even hopeful that my next surgery might be done using a cardiac cath to replace the valve rather than open heart surgery.”

Since James has witnessed first hand the astonishing advancements in cardiac care from the very beginning of his life, his hope is well placed.

James, Kayla and Jude together at home.

D r. PatchUp is not the only VIB (Very Important Bear) helping the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation: each year since 2003, a new Charity Bear has helped

raise money for the kids, with very important assistance from major banks’ local branches.

This year’s Charity Bear is named after Drew Husch, who is the Foundation’s 2011/12 representative for the Champion Child presented by Walmart, a Children’s Miracle Network program that honours remarkable children who have triumphed despite severe medical challenges.

Throughout the last year, Drew has helped out at public events and was the “face” of the thousands of children who are helped at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. Drew was born with cystic fibrosis, an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. Today after his double lung transplant, Drew’s lungs are disease-free but his other organs contain cystic fibrosis. He’s hopeful that a cure will be found soon, and in the meantime he refuses to let it get the best of him.

Drew is a true Hero and we’re proud to create a Charity Bear in his honour. The annual Charity Bears not only celebrate a child, they are actually look-a-likes! Continuing a tradition that now goes back to the very first Charity Bear in 2003, Foundation staff along with representatives of the four banks who will be selling the bears in

branches throughout northern Alberta – BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC, RBC, and Scotiabank – worked together with famous teddy

bear manufacturer Gund to create a one-of-a-kind teddy with the characteristics of our Champion Child.

The process starts in January of each year, when the Foundation introduces the banks to our new Champion Child, and together they decide which of the child’s features to mirror in the bears.

Working with Gund is a process involving looking at their full current line of teddy bears, deciding which bear characteristics best represent this year’s Champion Child, and relaying this information to the company.

In early April, Gund begins work on a prototype bear, and by May it’s in the eager hands of Foundation and bank staff. Usually, there are changes to the initial design, so the protoypes are truly unique – the rarest bears of the batch!

More than 13,000 Charity Bears were sold last year. “Gund has a huge following so people know it’s a great product,” says Brianne Broughton, a Foundation employee who’s worked on several years’ Bears. “We get a lot of folks coming back to add the newest Charity Bear to their collection.”

“We expect that these special bears will be sold out by Christmas,” Brianne continues. “Large bears sell for $20 and smaller ones for $12, with all proceeds of the bears going to raise funds for the state-of-the-art facilities here at Stollery Children’s Hospital.” Each Charity Bear comes with his very own story card and bum tag, to ensure authenticity.

The 2012 Charity Bears are on sale at locations of BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC, RBC, and Scotiabank throughout northern Alberta. Huge thanks to these banking institutions for choosing to support the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation in such a meaningful and significant way: since 2003, the Charity Bear program has raised more than $450,000 for the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

For more information or to adopt your very own Charity Bear, visit our own BearyLand or your local branch of BMO Bank of Montreal, CIBC, RBC, or Scotiabank. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s Drew Charity Bear possible.

Any way you slice it, Tee Up For Tots 2012 a successBy Jan Archbold

F illing the shoes of the Tee Up For Tots Golf Invitational founders, Sam Abouhassan and Kevin Lowe, is like hitting a hole in one: not impossible, just really difficult.

In the first 12 years of the tournament, Abouhassan and Lowe helped to raise more than $7 million for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation before passing along the club. The 2012 tournament was organized by a team of determined community leaders, who wanted to ensure that the legacy started all those years ago, remained as strong and dynamic as ever.

Marshall Sadd of Lloyd Sadd Insurance Brokers chaired the committee, and is proud to see $697,000 net proceeds head to the Stollery. “This community believes we should have the best children’s hospital in the country, and the support we received for the tournament clearly shows this commitment”, said Sadd.

The tournament was a sell out, and it was once again a reminder that each time a group of people gather you’re going to hear about Stollery Heroes. Many players related touching stories about the kids we call Heroes, and we know they played with these kids in mind. It’s people like Gord English and Warren Zaplachinski who were there because Brennen is a grandson and son to these two and a young man who is here and doing great because of the Stollery. There were people like Norma Gordon, who hasn’t missed a year of the tournament because she believes all kids deserve the best we can provide.

When all of the players hit the clubhouse, you could have heard a pin drop with Kelli and Scott Littlefair told the story of their son Keaton. This is another young guy who is receiving the

specialized care he needs in order to live his best life. And, he’s doing just that.

Perhaps Kelli said it best: “Words seem inadequate to express our thanks to the Stollery Children’s Hospital and to all those that have helped Keaton and will continue to walk with him on his medical journey. The generous support of the community, local businesses and volunteers are an integral part of this great hospital. Your contributions assist the Stollery in helping change the lives of children like Keaton, and families like ours. From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU!”

“We want everyone who contributed, whether a sponsor, a golfer or someone who helped with an auction item to know they made a difference,” added Sadd. “We’re very fortunate to have the Stollery in Edmonton.”

This year’s Tee Up For Tots would not have been possible without the tireless work of this year’s organizing committee, which included:

Marshall Sadd, Chair

Richard Balan, Brent Horn, Nathan Ibister, Noah Jones, Ashif Mawji, Stephen Petasky, and Cory Wosnack.

Special thanks to the Royal Mayfair Golf Club for its outstanding course and the service provided.

A legacy of givingOur Hero FamilyBy Jan Archbold

F or Jane and Mike Webb, philanthropy is a family priority. So when they decided to become the Presenting sponsor of the annual Snowflake Gala,

their first goal was to find ways to include both of their children, Alex and Olivia, in the event and activities. “We’ve made a commitment that no matter how busy we are with kids’ activities that being involved in philanthropy as a family would stay a priority”, says Jane. “It’s so easy to put your head down and fall into the day-to-day activities just to get through the week, so we book it into the schedule.”

As parents, Jane and Mike have come to realize that kids can become wrapped up in their own small world and that by giving them an opportunity to explore the unknown and to talk to

people in need, it prompts a whole new train of thought. “When they see the impact they can have it’s exciting for the whole family,” adds Jane. “It’s in the experience that you see the heart and mind connection. It becomes something real to them and it encourages them to take a look at the world around them. They realize that life can change in an instant and it can happen to anyone.”

It’s one of the reasons that Mike became involved on the Board of Trustees of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. “When my Dad was in hospital, I spent a lot of time there and you can’t help but notice the kids and what they’re going through,” says Mike. “In some ways, is scares me just how fast things can change for a family.” What might discourage some people has

only inspired Mike. “My Dad had a huge impact on my life and my decision to be involved in the community.” Mike’s Dad, the late Ken Webb, was a passionate philanthropist and a strong supporter of building the community. “He would take me to events and I would see how people can make a difference. My Dad led by example and he also made it fun.” This legacy of giving wasn’t lost on Mike and he carries his Dad’s inspiration with him in all he does. It’s easy to see that having parents who made philanthropy important in their family life would have inspired Mike to take those same values into his marriage, and it matched Jane’s philosophy.

So what are some of the ways to devote time as a family? “For us the easiest thing has been to create traditions. Those things you do every year at different times throughout the year,” says Jane. “If the kids see the changes and what they help make happen year after year, they begin to understand how change doesn’t happen overnight and that sticking to something is what can make the difference.” The Webb children are now of an age that they are beginning to make their own suggestions about projects and how they can help. “Alex has been great at raising money for the Stollery Family Day Classic. (An annual Hockey tournament that also funds Hockey Edmonton.) He is responsible for asking

for pledges and collecting the money.” If fact, although Alex is only in grade 6 he more than doubled his fundraising efforts for the event this past February and raised nearly $20,000. Alex was inspired after listening to a Stollery patient talk about the difference the kids at the tournament were making. “If everyone would try their hardest we could make a difference in so many kids’ lives,” said Alex. And trying hard runs in the family, as eight-year-old Olivia even collected her tooth fairy money so she could add to the donation.

The Webb family has many giving traditions; Mike has even spent time as a Santa for inner city kids. “It doesn’t have to be just money, there are many ways to give,” says Mike. “You can give time, experience, collect bottles, it all adds up. We help make deliveries every year to families in need, and for our kids to meet and talk to the people they help makes it easy for them to see how fortunate we are and the difference we can all make.”

It’s clear that Jane and Mike are proud of Alex and Olivia and the warm, caring hearts they have continued to develop through time. Just as Mike and Jane learned to be community stewards through their parents, Alex and Olivia are learning from their parents, too. The Webb family has created a legacy of caring and of giving. It’s what makes for a true Hero family.

Taking time for family fun.

New pediatric emergency department a firstBy Sheila Graham

T he first phase of the new pediatric emergency department at the Stollery Children’s Hospital opened officially at the end of January, phase two in November,

and its very successful fundraising campaign wrapped up in June. The new entrance, waiting and triage areas are already having a tremendous positive impact on all involved – staff, patients, and their families.

“The new space is very kid-friendly and is much more family friendly,” says Dr. Bruce Wright, the director of emergency care at the Stollery. He cites bright colours and lots of activities for

kids, including a fish tank that provides both entertainment and distraction.

Additional power outlets throughout handle everything from ventilators to entertainment devices including portable DVD players and Nintendo games. There are also small but significant distinctions from an adult-focused emergency room. Benches instead of individual chairs let children stretch out next to an adult, and extra-large chairs allow a child to comfortably sit beside a parent if they want to stay close.

The biggest impact of the new pediatric emergency room has been an increase in privacy, confidentiality, and efficiency.

“What has really changed is our general work space, which is now three times what it used to be,” says Dr. Wright. “We have gone from two computers to twenty, which means staff can access patient information much more efficiently. That makes it a lot easier for us to take care of patients and their families.”

The additional space also means emergency room staff can discuss a case without unintentional eavesdropping, from those in a nearby waiting room or passing in the hallway. As well, a new family consultation room provides a quiet space for the medical team to talk with a family in worse case situations. “It’s the sad part of our job, but imagine a death or a critical injury,” says Dr. Wright. “The family consultation room provides needed privacy.”

Equipment and support staff are in place, and the new department is continuing to train and orient staff to the new environment. The Stollery’s pediatric emergency room is unique in that the majority of its physician staff is trained in two specialities – both pediatrics and pediatric emergency medicine.

“The idea has always been to be a specialized emergency department dedicated for children,” says Dr. Wright. “We have the highest percentage of staff who are trained in pediatric emergency medicine in the country. You usually have emergency room doctors who trained with adults, or pediatric doctors who don’t have the emergency training. Here, you get both – someone who can respond in an emergency environment with the focus and experience of pediatrics.”

Ultimately, happier families make for happy doctors - and a better experience for all.

“No one wants to be in the emergency room,” says Dr. Wright. “But when the kids are in less distress and their families are more comfortable, everyone is happier. That makes it easier to do our jobs.”

The Stollery’s pediatric emergency is the only one of its kind in central and northern Alberta, and it’s here because the community decided it was a priority. Thank you to everyone who made this miracle happen, and is helping us to send more children home each year.

A Champion’s JourneyBy Aleesha Jex

“And when you dream, dream big.” These lyrics resonated through Maddie as she crossed the stage to receive her special medal in front of hundreds of people in Orlando. This medal is symbolic of her strength, inner-power and willingness to dream big. Maddie is a champion, so much so that the Stollery named her Champion Child presented by Walmart, a Children’s Miracle Network program that honours remarkable children who have triumphed despite severe medical challenges.

Just shy of her second birthday, Maddie went from being a happy, healthy baby to a tiny, weak toddler who could no longer walk. Her parents were devastated. Medical appointments would ensue over the next few months that lead her family to the Stollery Children’s Hospital. It was here that Maddie was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Since that time, she has been under regular medical care and treatment to manage her condition. “The specialized care provided at the Stollery gave Maddie the confidence she needed to face the challenges of this sometimes debilitating disease,” says her mom Crystal.

Now 12, Maddie is a loyal friend, dedicated student and a valuable team player on her school’s basketball and floor hockey teams. She thinks Justin Bieber is “coolio” and dreams of being a kindergarten teacher – the perfect vocation for this persistent go-getter!

In September, Maddie joined 11 other Canadian ambassadors in Ottawa to share their message that their lives have been enhanced because of the tremendous work of their local children’s hospitals. These Canadian Champions then joined

hundreds of children from across North America to celebrate their triumphs by participating in the Children’s Miracle Network Celebration event at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Seeing Maddie for the first time after her trip, it was easy to feel her energy and excitement. She made a number of new friends with fellow Canadian Champions, principally with Ellie from Saskatchewan who’s similar in age.

“In Ontario, we went to Saunders Farm and jumped on giant pillows. One of them is the size of a yard – and they had two!” said Maddie as she reminisced. “They also had a maze, slide and playground. It was a lot of fun for all the kids.”

Although Maddie did enjoy the Tower of Terror in Disney World, being a young teenage girl, shopping was definitely one of Maddie’s favourite

memories – especially when Walmart provided her with a $1,000 gift card. She, of course, used it to buy a couple pairs of shoes…and an iPad. This shopping experience was only slightly overshadowed when American pop and R&B recording artist Jordin Sparks told Maddie she was beautiful.

There were cameras capturing everything from the moment Maddie and her family stepped off the plane. “Literally after saying bye to the flight attendant, we turned to exit the plane and there was a cameraman,” remembered Maddie’s Grandmother Brenda. “It’s an interesting feeling coming home after a trip like that. It was definitely an emotional trip – filled with both tears and laughter.”

Over the next year, Maddie will help out at public events and be the “face” of the thousands of children who are helped at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. Maddie’s biggest role includes acting as Grand Marshall at the Walmart Walk for Miracles in June 2013.

The events listed are only a few of the outstanding individuals/organizations who took the initiative to support our efforts to help children. Thank you to all of our community event organizers and participants for their generous support.

If you are interested in raising money for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, please contact Stephanie Perilli at 780-431-4622 or [email protected].

CelebrationsCelebrating the Arrival of Twins

Married for 7 years, Pradeep and Anas were filled with joy to hear they were expecting. What a surprise for them to discover it was going to be twins! Nathan and Hannah had their baptism recently, at which their proud parents requested donations in lieu of gifts.

We asked Pradeep and Anas to tell us what their experience with the celebrations program was like.

“The response from our friends and family was very positive. We asked for donations in lieu of gifts as a way of giving thanks for the many blessings we have received, and as a way of sharing those with the children at the hospital. We know there are so many children who rely on the Stollery, and with the gift that was the birth of our own twins, it was important to us to support the Stollery Children’s Hospital, you never know when you may

need to rely on them for the care of your own children.”

MacKenzie’s Birthday

“For my 12th Birthday I invited all my grade 7 friends to watch the movie E.T. in the garage. Instead of gifts I asked my

friends for a donation to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. I chose to do this because I had to go there myself for my foot and everyone was so nice and made me feel at home. My family and friends are very proud of me and believe I set a good example. They are very impressed to hear how much I had raised. This makes me feel like I can make a difference in other children’s lives.”

Mackenzie, you are not just making a difference in the lives of the children at the Stollery Children’s Hospital with the money you have raised, you are demonstrating that one person can accomplish so much, with the desire,

and determination to put that desire into action. We are so proud of you!

CommunityThis past summer and fall were filled with some incredible community events. We had everything from head shaves to music concerts! It has been wonderful to see so many groups wanting to make a difference in the lives of children and youth at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

• our very own Edmonton Fire Rescue’s car wash;

• a baseball tournament hosted by the Sourpusses Ball Team in Morinville;

• auctions and raffles by many 4-H Clubs including clubs from Athabasca, Elk Point and Yellowhead;

• a golf tournament by Home Hardware in Wetaskiwin;


community initiatives

Come and Get Your Sweet Lemonade

When we asked 7 year old Samantha why she decided to have a lemonade stand in her community to support the Stollery, she

responded with the following beautiful response. “I wanted to raise money for the Stollery Children’s Hospital to help the children there who are sick and in pain. I wanted to help my friend Olivia so she doesn’t need anymore surgeries. I wish that all kids could be healthy.” Samantha, we hope by sharing your story you will inspire other amazing children to make a difference just as you have so graciously done!

Alex’s Ride for the Stollery

In September, Alex Westfal, 16, rode his bicycle from his hometown of Edson to Edmonton to raise money for the Stollery. Despite the tough ride, his younger brother and friends were the motivation that kept him pedaling. His brother had to be hospitalized for a week on oxygen and spent much of his early life in and out of the Stollery, many of his friends have needed the specialized care at the Stollery, and Alex himself also had surgery recently there as well.

Alex’s Mom Gerrilynn Curda says this of her son “I think, ‘what did I do to raise such a good kid?’. He is awesome. I was surprised that he would do this. It’s not really normal for a teenaged kid to do something that he’s not going to directly benefit from. He’s not getting anything other than the joy of giving and I’m really proud of him for that. He’s doing this for other people.”

$200,000 reasons to SMILE!By Aleesha Jex

“We did it! This year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign raised more than $200,000 for the Stollery,” beamed Lori Finck, Corporate Giving Coordinator for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.

At $1 per cookie, that’s a lot of cookies! Tim Hortons’ restaurants across northern Alberta donated the entire proceeds to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation during the campaign that ran from September 17 to 23.

Tim Hortons is one of the Stollery’s 2012 AFP Philanthropy Day nominees – deservedly so. To date, Tim Hortons has raised more than $1 million for equipment and leading-edge technology at the Stollery, with $519,000 headed towards the purchase of

equipment at the Stollery Children’s Hospital’s new pediatric emergency. Tim Hortons will have a treatment room named after it, as a result of its gifts.

“Making a difference starts with a smile,” explained Vaishally Bhatti, Regional Marketing Manager, Tim Hortons. “Tim Hortons would like to extend a great big hearty thank you to our guests for making this year such a success.”

Tim Hortons’ team members are eager to continue fundraising for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and have committed to another three years of fundraising towards needed equipment in the Stollery’s critical care unit.

Congratulations on an incredible effort this year – especially to top fundraisers from this year’s campaign!

children’s health across the country.

Children’s Miracle Network is a

non-profit organization dedicated to

saving and improving the lives of sick

and injured kids in local communities.

It raises funds for more than 170

children’s hospitals—14 of which are

in Canada.

A grandson as inspirationCostco making a difference in the communityWhen Costco started its fundraising campaign for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, Jim Ackney jumped into gear to inspire his colleagues and customers to donate. Knowing the Stollery Children’s Hospital saved his grandson’s life, he felt it was critical to give back.

Before Jim’s grandson Nathan was born, he was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect during a routine follow-up ultrasound. Moneca, Jim’s daughter-in-law, was able to take Nathan to full-term before giving birth to him on February 14, 2011. Less than two hours after his birth, Nathan was admitted into the neonatal intensive care unit at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

Doctors at the Stollery quickly learned that Nathan’s heart condition was far more complex than originally presumed. Without surgical intervention, Nathan’s condition was fatal. Consequently, at just three days old, surgeons performed Nathan’s first life-saving surgery.

Today, Jim is incredibly proud of his little fighter. Nathan has undergone multiple surgeries and is slightly smaller for his age, but he is doing remarkably well.

Thanks to Jim’s enthusiasm, his Costco warehouse on 149 Street in Edmonton raised the most money in Canada with more than $122,000 benefiting the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation!

In total, Costco warehouses from across northern Alberta raised more than $455,000.

Nathan and many other kids rely on the support of our community to help advance our pediatric hospital. Thank you to Costco and its members, suppliers and devoted employees for their participation and generous contributions.

Employee and corporate giving a perfect match

Employees at SMS Equipment feel it’s important to support causes where they live and work. That is why they dedicated their time and effort to fundraising for sick kids across western Canada…for a solid three months!

Their 2012 Children’s Miracle Network campaign included employee donations matched by SMS’ contribution, a quilt raffle, and miscellaneous cash donations. Altogether, employees raised more than $139,400 for Children’s Miracle Network – surpassing

its 2011 campaign by $18,000! A good portion of the money raised will benefit kids at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

“We value community,” said Mike Granger, Executive Vice President at SMS Equipment Inc. – Western Region. “SMS Equipment is committed to enhancing the quality of life for the people that live in the communities where we operate. Especially when it comes to kids.”

The money SMS Equipment raised through its campaign will help fund hospital priorities, including specialized equipment, sub-specialty medical education to train the best of the best, research to pave the way to the discovery of new treatments or cures

for child health issues, and specialized programs that improve patient and family outcomes.

Thank you SMS Equipment employees for your continued dedication to the kids at the Stollery!
