Amy’s Birthday Wish: 2024 edition

When you're young, it's tough having to miss out on parties, school events, holiday gatherings with friends and family because you're sick. I do have fond memories from 5 West thanks to the wonderful DISTRACTIONS that came in the form of sticker books, arts & crafts, board games, movies, toys, blankets and more.

Leaving your hospital bed for the playroom, or having people bring toys and games to you on days when you can't move really allows you to 'feel like a kid'. It's a magical feeling; one that helps remind us that smiling and laughing is good for the soul!

I'm turning 38 on April 25th, and just like every year since launching this birthday campaign, I'm dreaming BIG and asking you to celebrate with me by creating magical moments for CHEO Kids.

100% of your financial donation is going to CHEO's Child Life Department. They will buy the toys, craft kits and other entertainment goods and hand them over to children receiving in-patient treatment at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Thank you in advance for all that you do to bring sunshine to those living in darkness.
