By the time Cadence was eight-years-old, she had undergone 40 surgeries for her burns. In BC, scalds account for 79% of burn injuries in toddlers. Cadence was just 14 months old when she was burned by boiling water.
Cadence received incredible care at BC Children’s Hospital, where she stayed for two months. In May, the Burn Fund announced a $1 million donation to the BC Children’s Hospital to enhance care and build the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Care Suite.
“My parents, the plastics team at BC Children’s Hospital, and members of the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund have been my heroes. They are a huge part of my physical and mental recovery,” says Cadence.
Cadence does not let her scars define her. She loves to dance, travel and explore. Last year she spoke about her journey as a young burn survivor in a Ted Talk.
“My scars have become a part of me. They make me who I am. When I look at myself in the mirror I see scars, but I also see me. And instead of filling myself with pity, I fill myself with hope,” says Cadence.
With such a positive outlook, there’s no doubt that Cadence can do everything she sets her mind to! The Burn Fund will be there to support her every step of the way.
