Camp for Keeps: Fundraising for SickKids, in honour of Zackie

You’ve been following our journey as SickKids ambassadors and now the time has come to get fundraising for the upcoming 20km Great Camp Adventure on September 28th.  Along side other incredible families who we have met along the way, Paul, Ty, Jayden and I will be walking for Zackie and working towards our fundraising goal of $2500

We are no stranger to fundraising in Zack’s name and we continue to feel that by giving back, we are honouring our precious son in the best way that we can.  It’s both an honour and privilege to help raise money for the amazing place that took such good care of him and allowed us to have our 3 years with him on earth. 

We’ve seen the miracles, first hand, that take place within those walls at SickKids. 

We know the pain and struggles that parents feel when they are told that their child is fighting for their life.  

We know the joys and victories as the weakest little miracles are transformed into strong and powerful survivors.  

We know there is comfort in knowing that the nurses and doctors are working hard to fight for your child’s life.

We know the sensitivity with which the entire hospital treats our little babies and the way in which they embrace them and cheer them on.

We’ve seen the compassion with which the staff treat parents, in their last moments with their sweet child.

We know that because of generous donors, our kids are being helped by the latest technology and resources at Canada’s leading children’s hospital.

There are no words to express how SickKids has impacted our lives and how, even though Zack is gone, they continue to embrace us as family.  

I hope you follow our journey in raising our goal of $2500 for kids just like our Zack. 



Watch this video to be inspired by families, just like ours, whose lives have been forever changed by SickKids.  Look for Ty and I as we share our stories about Zack.
