Your Impact at Royal Columbian Hospital:

When you play, our patients win. Like Marcus Burry, who was born extremely prematurely at 24 weeks and 4 days and weighing just 755 grams at birth.

 

Marcus was delivered by emergency C-section and immediately placed in the care of Royal Columbian’s Variety Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), one of the only Level 3 NICUs in the province, providing care to the smallest and most vulnerable patients, including “micro preemies” like Marcus. He remained there for more than 4 months.

During his stay in the NICU, Marcus survived a number of complications, and after 132 days in care, he was finally healthy enough to go home to Surrey.

His mother, Makayla, is grateful to have him home and see him thriving. “Some days you feel like you’re going to be there forever, and it’s never going to end,” she says. “But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Your lottery purchase helps support the exceptional care that Royal Columbian’s NICU provides throughout the Fraser Health region.
