Meet Kate, our 2026 Children’s Miracle Network Champion. 💙

At just three weeks old, Kate was rushed to McMaster Children's Hospital after doctors discovered she wasn’t gaining weight. She was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency — a rare, life-threatening condition requiring lifelong care, medication and monitoring.

Throughout every emergency visit, appointment and milestone, Kate’s family found expert care and unwavering support at McMaster Children’s Hospital.

Today, Kate is thriving. She loves horseback riding, soccer, piano, spending time with friends and working at her local café — all made possible through the specialized care she continues to receive.

As this year’s CMN Champion, Kate will help share the impact donor support has on children and families across our region, reminding us that every donation helps create brighter futures for kids at MacKids.

Her story is one of strength, resilience and hope — and we’re honoured to share it throughout the year. ✨

When Cole was just two years old, a visit to McMaster Children's Hospital for persistent pneumonia revealed an underlying heart condition that could have otherwise gone undetected.

Today, Cole is 18, thriving, and pursuing his dream career in construction. Jennifer, Cole's mom, still remembers the incredible care her family received, including the small moments that made a big difference, like care team members drawing dump trucks on Cole's hospital room board to help him feel at home.

That's why she's proud to support LIFT Insurance's $2,000 Matching Gift Weekend.

From October 30 - November 1, every dollar donated through Road2Hope in support of McMaster Children's Hospital will be matched dollar for dollar up to $2,000, providing help to twice as many patients and families across our region.

$2 million raised in a single evening, all sparked by one young woman's courage.

Our recent From Courage to Care event brought together an incredible community to honour Kaitlin Jeffrey, whose extraordinary journey at Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) included a world-first burn treatment.

Kaitlin's experience at HHS and her father David's steadfast support of our Burn Centre showed everyone in the room what's possible when compassion meets innovation.

Together, we made a shared commitment: to advance Dr. Marc Jeschke's world-leading burn research and transform what recovery after a burn injury can look like.

To every guest and donor, thank you. Your generosity will speed up life-changing discoveries and bring new hope to burn patients and their families across Canada and beyond.

We're also deeply grateful to Pat DiCapo and Matt MacIsaac for opening their hearts and networks to host this unforgettable evening, as well as for their personal donations.

This milestone is only the beginning. Courage sparked this movement, and the generosity of our supporters will continue to move it forward.
