I’m helping kids be mighty
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.
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 my 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.
Thank you for your support.

Lennox Blair story
Thursday 27th AprMy mom will be explaining my story for me as I am only 5 1/2 years old.
I was diagnosed with a rare immune disease call Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) just after I turned 3. I did 4 rounds of IV chemotherapy January 2021 to May 2021. I was given the all clear from my MRI scan by my wonderful doctors and nurses in May 2021. My immune disease was no longer growing and had not spread anywhere else than in my skull.
Just before my fourth birthday September 2021 my mom noticed I was drinking a lot of fluids and peeing shortly thereafter, especially when I would play sports or do anything active. We told our team at Children’s, and they requested we do another MRI scan. The MRI scan came back with a damaged pituitary gland which resulted in the reoccurrence of LCH, still being present in my skull. I was then diagnosed with diabetes insipidus. It is a rare diabetes that affects the hormone that gets released from your brain to tell your kidneys that you need to pee or drink. Mine, however, does not work anymore and will never work. There was a 10% chance of reactivation with my immune disease. I take pills three times a day to help my body produce the hormone, that my body can not naturally produce. I was diagnosed after a 17-hour water deprivation test in November 2021, and started in January 2022.
After, I did two types of IV chemotherapy for 6 months. This chemo was much more invasive and caused me to be quite sick. Another MRI was ordered in May 2022 with results showing there were erosions in my skull. Since then the sites in my skull have started to close with positive signs showing that the chemo is really working.
May 2022 to now I have been taking an oral pill form of chemotherapy, every night before I go to bed and will be for the next year.
My parents and my doctors have explained to me that the reason I am going to the hospital is to get superpowers to make me fast and strong. But I don’t truly know what is happening or what has happened quite yet. As I am too young to understand and we as a family don’t want him to have anxiety going to the hospital for all our appointments, which are on going.
Our Family is so grateful for the love and support we have received from BC Children’s; we would love to be able to give back as much as we can. Truly bless on the phenomenal care and support Lennox has received from all the Doctors, Nurse, scan techs and all the staff at BCCH. If you are able to give anything we are greatly honored by your support and generosity.
