Ella suffered a terrifying accident when she was thrown off a horse in July 2015. The horse rolled on top of her, causing multiple skull fractures and swelling in the brain. Ella was rushed to SickKids and received plastic and neuro surgery to repair the damage she had sustained. She was discharged after only eight days at SickKids and is still monitored by her doctors. Today, she is continuing with her recovery, and has made it her mission to fundraise for SickKids as a thank you for saving her life.
Marlow was two and a half years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma in December 2011 and started treatment at SickKids in 2013. Marlow initially underwent an intensive 18 month treatment regime to eradicate her cancer. Following a relapse, Marlow is now back in remission which has enabled her to have a stem cell transplant in July 2016.
Kathryn was five years old when SickKids doctors diagnosed her with stage 4 neuroblastoma in June 2008. She immediately began treatment, which included chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplants, and time in isolation. Since then, she has relapsed four times, and continues to fight at SickKids.
