Trick-or-treat? 🎃 👻

Gizmo had a hard time picking a costume this year, so he wore them all!

He's pawsitively excited to say “Happy Halloween” to everyone on behalf of Children's Hospital, @lhsccanada. 🐾

We hope your night is as full of treats as Gizmo’s belly is! 🧡

We’d love to see your furry friends in costume too! Share your photos with Gizmo in the comments. by @chfhope

Halloween doesn’t stop at the hospital doors. 🎃

This year, we flipped trick-or-treating around and brought the candy to the children at Children’s Hospital, @lhsccanada. 🍬

Thank you to everyone who helped make it so sweet! 🧡 👻

Capes out. Smiles on. Superhero delivery! 🦸🎃💙

Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, Super Mario and more dropped by – literally!

Today, members of @lpsmediaoffice rappelled down Children’s Hospital, @lhsccanada, in Halloween costumes to bring smiles to the TRUE superheroes inside: the children. 💙

Next stop: a little Halloween sweetness! Following the rappel, members of London Police visited children inside the hospital with Halloween treats.

Thank you for taking this special visit to new heights! by @chfhope

John and Charlotte share a rare spinal condition, plus a whole lot of heart.

John has had multiple surgeries and still found the energy to put on a concert for his nurses. Charlotte starts every day with a tube feed two hours before school, then heads off to JK like any other child.

Their parents’ hope is simple: “We just want them to be good little humans at the end of the day.” 💙

Thanks to donors, Children’s Hospital @lhsccanada can offer things like a light-up wheelchair that helped John feel brave instead of scared.

💙 ONE DAD. FOUR CHILDREN. A STORY THAT REMINDS US WHY HOPE MATTERS.

Meet Richard Vallejo, a Watford, Ontario dad competing in the Super Dad contest - and a father whose family has a special connection to Children's Hospital, @lhsccanada.

All four of Richard's children were born at Children's Hospital, including his firstborn, Tobias, whom his family heartbreakingly lost in 2015.

Toby's memory remains woven into their family's story. And while their hearts carry the grief of losing him, Richard describes the extraordinary joy of welcoming his other children into the world - each bringing their own colour, light ,and love into their family's life. 💙

Now, Richard is using his Super Dad journey to raise awareness and support for Children's Hospital.

We'd love our community to rally behind him!

🗳️ VOTE FOR RICHARD using the link in our bio.

For two years, Spencer’s parents knew something wasn’t right.

He tripped more than other children. He tired quickly. His words sometimes disappeared mid-sentence.

Spencer lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and epilepsy. There’s no single treatment that resolves his story, so his care team at Children’s Hospital,@lhsccanada and TVCC builds a plan around him this year, and redesigns it next year, and the year after.

That’s what lets Spencer go to school, go to camp, and just enjoy childhood.

Your gift funds the seating clinics, splinting, therapy pool sessions, and specialized camps that help make that possible, for the long run.

Give today through the link in our bio. 💙 by @chfhope
