“I’m so grateful for my team at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital for the way they take care of me. I get to continue living my life and thrive because of the way I’m being taken care of,” said Cassidy. 

Cassidy has not only persevered but also become an advocate for CF awareness and research. Alongside her mother, Kimberly, she founded Cassidy’s Lemonade Stand, raising an impressive $125,000 for CF research over 11 years. Now at 16, Cassidy is eagerly embracing new milestones like getting her driver’s license, while also enjoying her passions for singing, spending time with friends, and pursuing a summer job as a certified lifeguard.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Carys

Carys from Moose Jaw, SK is a busy teenager, but a scoliosis diagnosis put her life on pause.

In June 2021, she was referred to Dr. Lauren Allen, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH), who determined Carys needed spinal fusion surgery to repair the curvature in her spine. Carys missed her last month of grade 10 in June 2022 for the surgery to have two rods, 15 screws and a donor bone graft placed in her spine.

Her recovery was initially normal, but in August 2022, she started to have excruciating pain in her shoulder. A screw came loose and was causing the rod to pull away from her spine, which required another surgery. Carys didn’t feel as mentally prepared for the second surgery and felt quite anxious going into it. However, her trust in Dr. Allen and the JPCH team put her mind at ease. Through all the mental and physical challenges of the past couple of years, Carys said having a dedicated children’s hospital has been so important.

“I’ve been to a general hospital and it’s just not the same at all. It’s great knowing that there’s somewhere that kids like me and kids all over Saskatchewan can go to get treated and get help,” Carys said.

Carys continues her surgical care at JPCH and still has some challenges ahead. She recently found out she can never dance again, but she continues to have a positive attitude and works hard to get where she wants to be. The eleventh-grader is very focused on school, and hopes to work in the medical field one day.

Learn more about Carys’ story and buy tickets to support maternal and children’s care in Saskatchewan today.

The deadline to buy tickets is April 21, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. The draw will be held on April 21, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation 1 – 345 Third Avenue S, Saskatoon, SK. The winner will be notified by email or phone with instructions on claiming the prize.
