Within the past year,
we have known two families that have children
who required extended stays at hospitals.
One family was lucky enough to be able to travel back and forth from home,
which was incredibly fortunate seeing as how their daughter
was in the NICU at the Janeway for more than 6 months.
The second family spent a lot of time at the Janeway,
but then travelled to Toronto where their one year old son
had to undergo cancer treatment and a bone-marrow transplant.
This family had to rely on the Ronald McDonald house
in order for their family to be able to be together and close to their sick son.
(I'm happy to report that he is doing wonderfully well right now!!)
We have always liked to support McHappy Day,
but this year we felt it was even more important to do so.
It's hard to understand why any child has to ever be ill or in pain,
yet it's a wonderful world that we live in
when people come together to make their journey
as easy as possible!
Kudos to any of you who also supported this wonderful fundraiser!

Thankfully Elliotte slept through lunch, so she didn't know that she was missing out on a Happy Meal. Next year you can have one too baby girl! |
