Critical Care Doesn’t Take Holidays:

When you play, our patients win. Like Alain Champagne, whose life was saved in December 2016 after he experienced a potentially fatal brain bleed:

On the night of December 18, 2016, Alain Champagne was getting ready for bed when his wife Marion Bonner heard a loud thump. She bolted up the stairs to check on Alain. She found him slumped against a dresser, having a seizure.

He was rushed to Royal Columbian, where tests revealed he was suffering from a left frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH), a sudden bleeding into the tissues of the brain. The bleeding and related swelling puts extreme pressure on brain tissue and cuts off blood supply to the brain. It can lead to permanent neurological dysfunction, and is often fatal.

Alain was taken to the ICU, where he was intubated and put in a medically induced coma. That’s when the gravity of the situation sunk in.

Over the next few days, Alain’s care team worked to reduce the pressure and control his seizures. His wife, Marion, was struck by the high quality of care he received.

By December 23, remarkably, Marion was able to take Alain home. By March, the bleeding had been completely absorbed by his body.

After his hospital stay, doctors told Alain his chances had been 50/50. “When I heard that and looked at the information related to the condition, and the fact that I was able to walk out of the ICU and not have any long-lasting effects… I feel so fortunate, so lucky,” he says.

Your participation in the lottery helps us support the highest level of care for critical patients like Alain.

Bright Nights 50/50 Supports BC Kids!

VANCOUVER, BC, December 16, 2022 — BC professional fire fighters support burn survivors through every step of their healing journey – from fundraising to volunteering as counsellors at Burn Camp.

You can support the fire fighters’ charity by purchasing your Bright Nights 50/50 ticket now – the jackpot is over $192,000 and counting!

To Jules Walker-Renney, fire fighters are heroes. Vancouver fire fighters from Fire Hall Number 1 rescued him in March 2019 when he was burned.

Just shy of his fourth birthday, Jules was cooking chicken soup with his mom – a regular activity for the family. Eager to help, he pulled up a children’s chair to the stove and when he lost his balance he reached for the soup, which toppled over on him. It happened in seconds.

Jules sustained fourth-degree burns to 21 per cent of his body and spent weeks at BC Children’s Hospital.

Just like the fire fighters who responded to the call, Jules displayed incredible bravery throughout his recovery. The resilient and spirited little boy formed a strong bond with these four fire fighters, who visited him in the hospital.

When the Burn Fund announced a $1 million donation to build a new burn unit, it was clear who should be on the plaque which will hang in the unit: Jules and his heroes. These photos are from that photoshoot.

Jules is now seven years old and March will be the fourth anniversary of his accident. This past summer he attended Burn Camp for the first time, where he made great friends with other young burn survivors – some of whom he met during the Little Lionhearts Family Retreat.

Jules is as spirited as ever and has a running joke with his favourite Burn Camp counsellor, Fire Fighter Umesh Lal, about where fire fighters at camp land on the awesome scale (during Bun Camp water fights they are “super awesome.”)

You can support kids like Jules – buy your Bright Nights 50/50 tickets!

All proceeds go directly to the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund which offers programs for burn survivors, including the annual Burn Camp for kids.

Tickets are 1 for $15, 3 for $40, 6 for $60 or 25 for $250.
