Meet Amélie

Amélie has a joie de vivre, is always ready to pose for a picture and loves dancing like everyone is watching! While she visits the Stollery regularly to ensure she recovers from accidentally swallowing a lithium coin battery, Amélie is resilient and inspires others through her infectious smile and bubbly personality.

Meet George

George likes to explore outdoors, be silly and spend time with his family and dogs. After having two heart transplants, spending more than 250 days in the Hospital before turning four and countless pokes and procedures, George has shown resilience through his kind, humorous and happy personality.

Meet Rylan

Rylan loves performing, entertaining and playing video games with his buddies. Instead of focusing on the things he can’t do, Rylan focuses on all that he can do, while genuinely and confidently loving who he is.

Meet Emmy

Emmy loves playing with her friends, her little brother Jeremy and Dr. Bear — otherwise known as Dr. PatchUp! After multiple orthopedic surgeries and three full-body casts, Emmy continues to defy the odds and find the fun everywhere she goes.
