Aspyn's Story
At just three months old, Aspyn faced a challenge most could hardly imagine—a heart murmur diagnosis that introduced her to the caring embrace of the Janeway Children's Hospital. But even after undergoing heart surgery at the tender age of seven to improve blood flow, Aspyn has never let her condition define her. She continues to embrace life with zest, diving into swimming, cycling, and cherishing moments with her friends.
Every three months, Aspyn returns to the Janeway for routine check-ups to monitor her heart's health. These visits are more than just medical appointments—they're joyful reunions. Aspyn looks forward to catching up with her friends in the Cardiology Department, who've become like a second family.
The journey to St. John's for her check-ups turns into an adventure during the winter, as Aspyn and her mother navigate the snowy landscape of Rigolet by skidoo to reach the airport. These trips, often extending three days, highlight the resilience and determination of the Michelin family.
Jennifer, Aspyn's mother, expresses profound gratitude for the Janeway's team: "We are so very thankful and blessed to have such a supportive team of nurses, doctors and support staff at theJaneway. They always go above and beyond to be sure that our visits are as pleasant and memorable as possible."
Your support plays a crucial role in sustaining the lifeline that children like Aspyn rely on. It helps ensure that every child receives the compassionate care needed to flourish despite medical challenges. Thank you for helping hearts like Aspyn's thrive.

Liam's Story
Meet Liam, a resilient boy diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis shortly after birth. He receives dedicated care at McMaster Children’s and SickKids Hospital, where compassionate staff turn tough times into positive experiences. Despite challenges, Liam finds joy in simple pleasures—playing at the park, building with Lego, and indulging in superhero movies. A devoted fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Austin Matthews, he radiates positivity and kindness.
Beyond his personal battles, Liam actively engages in fundraising as a "CF Warrior," spreading awareness on various TV programs, including CTV News. Liam, Strong As A Tree, is a heartfelt book he authored, with proceeds supporting local children's hospitals. His generosity extends further; in December, he dropped off toys and emphasized the need for comfort kits to support parents facing unexpected hospital stays.
The revolutionary drug Trikafta has brought a new lease on life for Liam. Despite periodic sickness, he excels in track and field, ranking an impressive 54th. Focused on personal growth and community service, Liam recently donated 200 comfort kits to SickKids Hospital, expanding the initiative to Grand River Hospital.
Approaching his ninth birthday, Liam looks forward to celebrating with friends at East Side Mario's. As a dedicated Leafs fan, he's grown taller, stays busy throughout the day, and has started skating. With aspirations to become a police officer or a hockey player, Liam's determination and positive spirit shine brightly, inspiring others along his journey. Despite the challenges of Cystic Fibrosis, he remains a staunch advocate, spreading hope and support to those facing similar battles.
