🌈 A special thank you today to the staff and students for raising $1000 on their very first Superhero Day!!! That's amazing!

💕 Also a shout out to the Grade One teachers and students who ran the book mark club - I was handed a bag of beautifully laminated and decorated book marks yesterday for the kids at the hospital. They even have little heart charms from their 3D printer!

Together we can do great things. Thank you for supporting families and children fighting cancer 🎗️

🌈 Just wanted to send some love out today and say thank you...

Yesterday I had so many thoughtful messages from people I know (and people I do not know) about Jack and the great things the Wish Heart Fund is doing in his honour ❤️

Every year on the anniversary of May 7th I take a personal day off work and I hike Christie Lake. It's a 6.8km loop and I take my time to just be. If you know me, you know I'm always buzzing around like a bee trying to get everything done for everyone. But May 7th is my day. The lake trail is quiet, it's usually pretty much deserted this time of year (don't tell my mom) and it's a beautiful place to decompress. Jack and I are always connected and I can really feel that closeness in the woods for some reason.

Thank you for all the love yesterday and always.
All the best to you and your families,

Maria

💕 There's my boy!

We lost Jack nine years ago today, May 7th 2017.

I've had a real rough time lately. You would think this gets easier, but it just doesn't.

However, today I choose to celebrate a big win with you. We have been working with the hospital for a long time now to put together ChemoCare Kits. If you swipe through the pictures you'll see what looks like a tool box - but inside it's got everything pediatric oncology families need when they go home to take care of their child. Pill containers, pill crushers, gloves, syringes, compartments to keep various meds in, instruction cards and a lock - to keep everything safe.

When we were able to take Jack home we had all these items in a brown paper bag. It was hard to keep track of everything and I was super stressed to begin with because it was me and Andrew trying to figure everything out alone - at the hospital you have a whole team of doctors and nurses and Child Life helping you. The ChemoCare Kit takes another thing off the plate of families and helps bring a bit of comfort in a confusing and stressful time.

And it's cause of your donations that this is possible. All in honour of Jack ❤️
