On September 28, 2019, I'm joining an army: 3000+ SickKids supporters rallying together at a new fundraising event for SickKids, GetLoud. $2.5 million is our collective fundraising goal. We're building a new SickKids, and it's going to take all of us.

SickKids has always been on the front lines in the fight for children's health. In 2009, we were lucky to be sent to SickKids when our daughter, Jayden, became ill at 3 years old. Thanks to the amazing doctors, nurses and researchers at the hospital, Jayden was diagnosed and treated with a newly discovered disease, anti-NMDAR Encephalitis. She was one of the first to be diagnosed with this disease at SickKids. If it wasn't for the incredible worldwide partnerships built between SickKids and the international medical network, we have no idea where we would be right now. Thanks to this amazing team, Jayden is a very happy, healthy 13 year old.

The clinical facilities at SickKids are close to 70 years old. Today, one of the biggest battles at SickKids is against the limits of an old building.

Help me unleash the full potential of SickKids by donating online - it's safe, secure and easy. Any amount you give today will help me reach my fundraising goal.

Let's rally, march, and celebrate. When we unite in the fight against limits.
