“You get a phone call with a diagnosis and you go right to grieving the life you thought you’d have.”

Meet Seth, Joseph, Brody, Jeff and Sumit. Five SickKids dads who’ve never met, but who understand each other on a level only a SickKids dad can. 💙

Through shared experiences, compassion, and moments of laughter, these men found immediate support and community with one another.

Over the next week, we’ll be sharing more of their meaningful conversations – celebrating their vulnerability, strength, and dedication as SickKids dads.

Strong, spirited, and unstoppable. 💪

SickKids Patient Ambassador Sisi recently said “yeehaw” and headed south to share her story at Signet’s District Managers meeting. 🤠

At three years old, Sisi was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer that forms in soft tissues. After a long and challenging journey of chemotherapy and radiation, she was declared cancer-free in 2021.

Today, Sisi is a charismatic 14-year-old who’s thriving as a dancer, musical theatre enthusiast, and published author. 📚

We’re so grateful to Peoples Jewellers for their $3M commitment to supporting whole genome sequencing at SickKids.

Thanks to their generosity and dedication, more kids like Sisi can continue dreaming big, sharing their stories, and celebrating moments that matter. 💙

You KNOW we’re Toronto down. 👏 🇨🇦 ✨

Scrubs in the 6️⃣ ix.

For our 25th anniversary, it only felt right to bring the party back to where it all started.

Holt Renfrew presents Scrubs In Our City Toronto in collaboration with Mantella Corporation raised $1.44M for SickKids!

These funds are helping support the purchase of a new CT scanner to deliver faster, higher-resolution scans and more precise diagnoses for patients.

We’re so grateful to our Scrubs community, committee and all our sponsors, volunteers and guests for 25 years of impact. Here’s to 25 more.

See you next year! 👀💙

It’s been one year since Wynn’s last dose of chemo.

A year of healing, strength and gratitude. 💜✨

“There’s thousands of other people at SickKids and it really means so much to me to represent all of those kids.”

Caleb is a funny, smiley, outgoing six-year-old who also happens to be this year’s Children's Miracle Network Canada Champion Child! 💫

At 15 days old, Caleb was placed on the liver transplant list after being diagnosed with Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency - a rare hereditary metabolic disorder that causes ammonia to build up in the blood.

Since his life-saving liver transplant in 2020, Caleb’s journey of strength and perseverance eventually brought him to Florida, where he proudly represented SickKids at the most recent Elevate event. 👏

Moments like these are made possible thanks to Walmart Canada, who have raised more than $243M for Children’s Miracle Network and over $45M for SickKids.

This May, Walmart customers can donate in-store or online, with 100% of proceeds going directly to your local children’s hospital. Every donation is helping support kids like Caleb when they need it most. 💙

“When I see my pictures at Walmart, it makes me feel proud and it makes people want to donate to SickKids. The Hospital can be a scary place for the patient and families and raising money can help the patients, siblings, and families grow stronger.”

“A doctor sat down across from me and said the words no parent is ever prepared to hear: ‘Your son has cancer.’ In that moment, the world as I knew it stopped.”

Joseph is a happy, healthy, vibrant and energetic eight-year-old. But just a few years ago he was undergoing endless procedures, medications, and chemotherapy. His mom Diana credits the staff at SickKids for guiding their family through some of their hardest moments.

“The doctors, nurses, and staff never once let us feel alone. When we had no one else, they became our family, our strength, and our lifeline.”

Nurse Sue was one of those people - “her approach wasn’t just about protocol. It was about compassion.”

20 years ago, Sue also cared for Antonio Damiano.

It was in honour of him that Frank and Martina Damiano originally founded Friends Helping SickKids – to give back to the Hospital that saved their son. Over the past 25 years, they’ve raised over $2M to support leukemia research and care at SickKids.

This year’s milestone event meant that Joseph, Antonio and Sue could all be in the same room together for the very first time. A true full circle SickKids moment. 💙

SCRUBS IN OUR CITY NOW LOADING 🍁 🇨🇦 🏙️

For our 25th Anniversary, we’re bringing the party of the year back to where it all began - and where it matters most. Toronto.

Enjoy cuisines that encapsulate the taste of the 6ix, served by our gourmet food partners, dance by the open bar, and indulge in entertainment, activations and photo ops, all in support of SickKids.

Funds raised will support the Hospital’s most critical needs, including the purchase of a new photon-counting CT scanner.
