Marcus's Fund

Marcus Bruno Gibbons Endowment Fund

Marcus Alexander Bruno Gibbons was born on November 4th, 2002, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. At the tender age of 13, his life was forever altered by Ewing's sarcoma. Rather than regressing, he blossomed. To say that he adapted to the necessities of his harsh treatment regime with grace and understanding is an understatement. Through sheer determination and grit, he achieved incredible successes in high school academics, became an accomplished pianist, and was a beautiful para-swimmer. Most importantly of all, Marcus wowed those around him with his warmth, empathy, maturity, kindness, humility, leadership and resilience (a term he hated). His indomitable spirit, good cheer in the face of calamity and incredible work ethic astounded those around him. He left an indelible impression on others whether at home, at school, in the hospital, on his swimming team, or at the piano. Many felt he was a person to turn to for wisdom and a listening ear. His last wishes were to further Ewing's sarcoma research and help others in need. Please help make his last wishes come true. 

Your generous support is most appreciated.

All funds raised will go towards the Marcus A.B. Gibbons Endowment Fund at SickKids
