SickKids Lottery Your Support

PLAY FOR KIDS LIKE ATLEY

YOU CAN PLAY THE SICKKIDS LOTTERY FOR THE AMAZING PRIZES, BUT KNOWING YOU'RE PLAYING FOR THE KIDS IS WHAT MAKES THIS LOTTERY SPECIAL. YOU'RE PLAYING FOR KIDS LIKE ATLEY.

Born in 2014, Atley soon developed many health problems: legs turning blue, vomiting, and asthma. At his local hospital, his heart rate hit 314 beats per minute – his heart was the problem.

Atley was transferred to SickKids. Looking beyond the data that monitors could provide, SickKids found the diagnosis of Atley’s condition in his genes. Atley has Brugada syndrome: a rare, inherited genetic defect that can lead to sudden cardiac death.

Today – thanks to a pacemaker and regular monitoring – nothing holds passionate dancer Atley back.

When you play the SickKids Lottery, you’re helping SickKids deliver world-class care for more kids like Atley.

Making a difference for patients like Colette

YOU CAN PLAY THE SICKKIDS LOTTERY FOR THE AMAZING PRIZES, BUT KNOWING YOU'RE PLAYING FOR THE KIDS IS WHAT MAKES THIS LOTTERY SPECIAL. YOU'RE PLAYING FOR KIDS LIKE COLETTE.

Colette has a family history of cardiac dysrhythmia – an abnormal heartbeat. Because her brother Atley, already a SickKids patient, had this issue, SickKids specialists recommended all three Kowalsky siblings (Colette, Atley, and their brother Henry) have genetic testing for a gene – SCN 5A –associated with Brugada syndrome, which causes an irregular heartbeat. In July 2020, Colette was identified as a carrier.

Today, she remains free of symptomatic Brugada, but SickKids is still a big part of her life. While Colette continues to enjoy dancing, arts & crafts, and reading – Harry Potter and Dragon Masters are favourites – she is closely monitored by the SickKids team.

Playing the SickKids Lottery helps kids like Colette get the best possible care, so they can get back to being kids.

LET'S HEAL THE FUTURE
FOR KIDS LIKE CHITRA.

Every kid is one-of-a-kind. So, they deserve more than one-size-fits-all health care.

Precision Child Health is health care tailored specifically to kids. By becoming a monthly donor, SickKids can diagnose faster, treat smarter, and predict better. This is the future of
children's health care.

The monthly donor community helps make this possible by giving us a solid foundation of support we can count on every month.

The more monthly donors we have, the bigger the impact for kids like Chitra, who was diagnosed with a rare, complex tumour near her brain at 8 months old. Using precision medicine powered by 3D printing technology, SickKids surgeons were able to see precisely what was wrong, and plan how to fix it. Chitra's tumour was removed, and today, she is healthy and well.

By becoming a monthly donor, we can heal the future and create better outcomes for kids like Chitra.
