Keira was born with craniosynostosis – when the plates in a baby's skull fuse too early, before the brain is fully formed. Keira has had several surgeries at HSC Winnipeg Children’s Hospital to open the fusion, relieve the pressure, and support the shaping of her skull to naturally fuse back together as she grows.  

Now at 11 years old, Keira is full of energy and living life to the fullest. She is Manitoba’s 2022 Champion Child supporting other children who need HSC Children’s Hospital and Children’s Hospitals across the country.
