Our Why

We moved into the Ronald McDonald House a few weeks before our baby boy Kolter arrived. We knew our son was going to be transported to the stollery right after birth for care and later have heart surgery. Kolter arrived early on June 25th. On July 4th Kolter had heart surgery that did not go as planned. Kolter was on bypass for 8+ hours. Kolter was put on a ecmo machine in hopes his little body would have the chance to heal. On July 10th we had to do the unimaginable and say goodbye to our sweet boy. The Ronald McDonald house provided us a safe space with so much support during the hardest time of our lives. From kind volunteers driving us to and from the stollery, to volunteers cooking meals so we didn’t have to worry about food after a long day at the hospital. The staff were always kind and caring and willing to help us in any way they could.  On September 27th our family is going to “hustle for the house” and for Kolter. We hope you will join our team and help make a difference for all the families that have to go through what seem to be the most impossible things. 

We are also pleading for donations with a goal of raising $5000 for the house. From now until August 31st, all donations get a powerful pace partner. Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink will match donations up to 50%, helping us support sprint even further.

Thank you for your support!
