I'm raising money in support of the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. Specifically, raising funds to buy an intestinal ultrasound machine that will make diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's much more bearable for kids like my son Cohen.

Cohen's gastroenterologist, Dr. El-Matary, has been trained to use a special ultrasound machine that will reduce the need for children to undergo bowel scopes during diagnosis and treatment. These procedures are horribly invasive and painful. We are trying to raise funds to put towards the total $75,000 required to purchase this intestinal ultrasound machine. It will make a world of difference to children combatting Crohn's and their families. (This will dramatically reduce wait times, too.)

By making a donation to me, you are helping to make a difference in child health and child health research. With your support, we can do more for children and families like us.
