As a family, we are very committed to our local Cancer charities as well as the Ronald McDonald House Hamilton. They helped us in our greatest time of need. Now that Griffin is on the mend, we have his whole life to give back! We will never be able to repay everything that was given to us, for most of the support and hugs were priceless, but we will definitely try!

 

Emily & MRTMarty and I are now starting up a Parents Support Group for Caregivers here in Niagara. We are very excited to bring this wonderful group of people together to share, grow and heal!
