Please Join us in supporting the Music Therapy Program at Oncology at BC Children's Hospital.
From 2008-2010 I spent the better part of two years being treated at BC Children's Hospital while I battled Hodgkins Lymphoma. During this time the amazing staff and programs that BC Children's offered worked tirelessly to help me overcome a potentially life threatening disease. A big, often overlooked apsect of getting through a battle such as mine, is having an escape from it all that provides each patient with a sense of normality. The Music Therapy Program at Oncology does just that. It provides a sense of normality and a sense of escape for each patient, which is often hard to find during such trying times.
As a fully donor funded program, the Music Therapy Program at Oncology relies purely on groups and individuals to ensure that program continues. As someone that has seen the incredible impact that each Music Therapist has on patients, it has become a passion of mine to give back to such an incredible group of individuals who helped me get though the biggest obstacle in my life so far.
On June 5th, 2021 myself and my incredible friends are running a self prompted half marathon to raise funds for the Music Therapy Program. We hope to ensure that even during a pandemic driven year, where fundraisers are limited, that the Music Therapy Program doesnt get overlooked. All proceeds raised through our run and through our event will be donated directly to the program.
We thank you for your support and hope to be able to provide necessary funding for the great and needed program that is Music Therapy at Oncology.
