About Royal Columbian Hospital

What is the greatest challenge you have ever had to overcome? Vince Li faced his in the spring of 2020, when a severe virus took hold and forced him into the toughest fight of his life.

It started with a fever that quickly spiked. After several days with no improvement, Vince made his way to the local emergency room. There, an X-ray and blood tests revealed the tell-tale signs of COVID-19. With extremely low oxygen levels, he was immediately sedated, intubated, and sent to Royal Columbian Hospital.

With shocking speed, Vince had gone from being a healthy, active 26-year-old to critically ill. A personal trainer, competing in boxing and jujitsu tournaments, Vince says, “While I never expected something like this to happen to me, I am grateful to have been brought into the care of a team that was ready and able to give me my best chance at life”.

Already serving one-third of British Columbians, Royal Columbian Hospital’s vital role in ensuring the health of our communities has become even more significant during the global COVID-19 pandemic. But help is needed to ensure that Royal Columbian remains ready to take on life’s most critical moments, now and always.

What stood out for Vince during his time at Royal Columbian is the quality of care he received. Everyone – from the doctors, to the nurses and physiotherapists – fought tirelessly for his recovery, all while bravely facing countless challenges and pressures brought by the pandemic.

Following Vince’s hospital stay, he found he was struggling to make it up a flight of stairs without panting. Now, over a year later, Vince has successfully run a half-marathon. When we are facing our biggest fears and greatest challenges, we all deserve a team in our corner. Help our healthcare heroes to fight for patients like Vince and so many others, by purchasing your tickets to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation 5050 Lottery today.

If you or a loved one has come through our doors, you know why a third of British Columbians rely on Royal Columbian Hospital for critical care.

We are the only hospital in BC with trauma, cardiac, neurosciences, high-risk maternity & neonatal intensive care on one site. We are also one of Fraser Health’s three primary COVID-19 sites. We look after some of our province’s most seriously ill and injured patients. In addition, we are a teaching hospital and a UBC Clinical Academic Campus.

For our healthcare heroes, the fight isn’t over yet, but you can help them keep fighting by entering now for your chance to win big.

Here’s Your Chance to Win the BC Lupus Society 50/50 Jackpot!

VANCOUVER, BC, September 28, 2021 — Support the BC Lupus Society, while entering for a chance to win the BIG JACKPOT PRIZE! Tickets for the 2021 BCLS 50/50 Raffle are available now until October 7^th, 2021. The winner will be announced on October 8^th, 2021.

Every ticket purchased will go towards funding for research to further the advancements in treatments and hope for a cure, as well as, supporting children and families affected by lupus.

3 tickets for $5
7 tickets for $10
50 tickets for $20
150 tickets for $50

The BC Lupus Society is a non-profit organization that is devoted to supporting those affected by lupus, educating and bringing awareness about lupus to the public, and advocating for advancements in research. We believe in finding a cure for this tragic disease.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects people of all ages, but especially children and women of childbearing age. The scariest thing about lupus is that it takes on many different forms making it difficult to diagnose. It can affect any part of the body, most commonly the skin, joints, and vital organs. Babies and children who suffer from lupus tend to have a higher chance of damage to vital organs such as the brain and kidneys. Left undiagnosed, lupus can be fatal.

Emma’s Lupus Story

When I was 15, my life turned completely upside down when Lupus put me in kidney failure for a few days. What I thought would be my longest stay in a hospital for one week turned into 4 months of living in the hospital. I had suffered a stroke and I was completely paralyzed on my left side. I wasn’t allowed to eat or drink. For two weeks all I lived off of was apple sauce and ice chips. I couldn’t even sit up or hold the weight of my own head. I started physio sessions right as I was put into a room that wasn’t in the ICU. It was the start of my road to being as normal as I could be if I worked hard enough. With strong determination and hard work, I was transferred to a rehab hospital after a couple months.

Since then, I’ve gotten back to a pretty normal version of life for my circumstances and are working through the many struggles that come my way. With months and months of hard work pushing my body to its limits I’m walking pretty normally with a slight limp. I also still wear a brace on my ankle to prevent it from rolling.

As a volunteer with BC Children’s rheumatology camp (pre-Covid), I was surprised to see how many children had lupus. I met kids as young as 9 years old living with lupus. I would be interested to look more into that research and to see if pushing children too hard at a young age or putting too much stress on their bodies is a trigger for developing these types of diseases.

After sharing my story with the BC Lupus Society, it made me realize how important it is to have a community of people who understood what I was going through. I love the society for fundraising because it’s an opportunity to get the word out about lupus and help educate others, while raising money for a good cause. I also put all my scholarship awards towards the BC Lupus Society because I felt that it was a great way to give back to the community and a research program that I truly believe in. I knew that it would benefit not only myself, but others living with lupus.

Ticket sales end at midnight on October 7!
Winner announced on October 8!
