JOHN’S 26TH JOINS THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER 💙💪🏼💙

This year, I’m not only celebrating my 26th birthday, but also 18 years in remission from paediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

At 8 years old, I was treated at SickKids with two rounds of chemotherapy and an allogeneic bone marrow transplant in 2009. Because of the incredible care, research, and support I received, I’ve been given the opportunity to grow up, build a life, and celebrate milestones like this one.

For my birthday this year, I want to give back to the hospital and people who helped save my life.

If you’re able, a donation of any amount to SickKids would truly mean the world to me and make this birthday even more meaningful. Every contribution helps fund world-class cancer research, life-saving treatments, and care for children and families facing battles no child should ever have to fight.

SickKids is one of the world’s leading paediatric hospitals, and I’m forever grateful for everything they did for me and my family.

Thank you for your support, your generosity, and for helping me turn this birthday into something bigger than myself.

- John
