Patient stories
Together, We Can
Change the Ending
Hayden’s Story
Hayden and his family first started this fundraiser in 2022 with a simple goal… to give back to the pediatric community that has cared for him so well.
Every six months, Hayden receives IV treatment from the Endocrine Team at BC Children’s Hospital, who travel to UHNBC in Prince George. For families across Northern BC, clinics like this are incredibly important. What could feel overwhelming is made lighter by a team that brings compassion, comfort, and care to every visit, not just for patients, but for their families too.
Carla’s Story
At just 13 weeks pregnant, Carla suffered a stroke caused by a hidden heart defect, changing her life in an instant. Thanks to quick action, expert care, and the support of loved ones, she survived the unimaginable. Her story is a powerful reminder of how every second, and every heartbeat, matters.
Cyris’s Story
Born with a congenital heart condition, Cyris has faced more medical battles in 20 years than most do in a lifetime—including open-heart surgery and a brain tumor. But with his family and community behind him, he’s faced every challenge with courage. His story is a powerful reminder of why bringing cardiac care closer to home matters.
