The Oncology Ward at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) is bustling every weekday with brave children, dedicated staff, brilliant volunteers and commendable guardians!

The work that goes on there saves the lives of our communities’ children who are far too young to be battling cancer.

Hi, I’m Jay McHugh, and I know all this first hand as my young son, Peter, was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) in 2015.  I will never forget the day we took our little guy (2 ½ yrs old at the time) in because he was complaining about stomach pain.  There is nothing that can prepare a parent for that kind of news, and it can happen to anyone.  

We finished three grueling years of treatment and, so far, it seems to have saved our little Peter’s life!

He is now in Grade 1 and we couldn’t be more proud of him.

Let’s get together to support CHEO with the daunting task of helping our youth overcome devastating diseases like cancer!

Any contribution helps

Thank you for your generosity.
