When Nadine was born! She was in the BC women's NICU

Kids running in our alley training for the run!

Kid's training schedule

I couldn't push them to run, but once I told them to make their own schedule they were happy to run :P By the end of their training plan, it will only be able 1.5k, but if they are running, its a win!

Nadine's CDH Journey

As the only hospital in BC devoted exclusively to kids, BC Children’s provides the specialized care that seriously ill kids need to fight their health battles. Especially for Nadine that was diagnosed with Congenital diaphragmatic hernia prenatally at 24 weeks. Nadine was well-taken care of BC women's hospital's NICU. But BC Children's had a part to play in her recovery as well with their imaging technology and resources. I ate and walked in BC children's everyday :p  

Nadine's home was the hospital for the first 3 months of her life, she stayed for 112 days in the hedgehog pod and then lady bug complex care pod.

She was readmitted to the hospital once after her long stay - she was in the BC Children's PICU ward when she had severe vomitting and bowel problems. 

Amazing progress has been made in improving children’s health care. But the fact is, there’s still more to do when it comes to taking on the biggest health threats facing our kids.

Your donation to our RBC Race for the Kids fundraising page will help advance care for kids across the province and support experts at BC Children’s Hospital in their quest to conquer childhood illnesses.
