Each year we kick off the Y105 C.C.C.C. with a tour of CHEO on launch day as a reminder of why we do what we do. No question, it is all about the children. We are so lucky to have CHEO and the support from our listeners is phenomenal. CHEO has earned its reputation as an incredible pediatric hospital and many listeners who pledged support have emotional ties to the staff there. We re humbled by the outpouring of support from families who understand how lucky we all are to have this pediatric facility in our community.
Nothing is more important than the care and safety of our children.
You would be hard pressed to find anyone willing to argue that point but, believe it or not, I have run into some people who are skeptical about donating money to help out. It seems impossible to me that the impact of community donations on an institution like The Children s Hospital of Eastern Ontario could be missed. For further assurance, you need only ask any of the wonderful staff members at CHEO for a whole new perspective. Margot Thomas, a nurse in CHEO s intensive care unit tells us that she sees community donations at work on a daily basis. The technologically advanced equipment in use every day in the I.C.U. is but one example.
