Today is Giving Tuesday – a day that celebrates community, kindness and giving. A day that celebrates what is possible when we come together to help kids.

Tyson’s story is one example of how your support, today of all days, can make a real difference in the lives of so many families tomorrow. At just 12 weeks old Tyson was diagnosed with cancer. It was thanks in large part to the generosity of this community that experts were able to provide him with the life-saving bone marrow transplant he needed.

Tyson’s family loves the mountains and seeing The Rockies from their hospital room at the Alberta Children’s Hospital kept Courtney and Josh going, knowing one day they would be able to take their son to them.

Today, you have a unique opportunity to stand with researchers who are moving mountains for kids like Tyson. That’s because your generosity will be MATCHED by Alberta's dairy farmers.

That’s twice the support for leading, local scientists who are working hard to find safer, gentler cures, without the lasting side effects for children facing cancer. And it’s twice the hope for parents like Josh and Courtney.

When a child beats cancer, it should be a true victory. It's why we’re writing you today.

While 80% of children will survive cancer with standard therapy, most will suffer serious side effects for the rest of their lives.

Tyson is one of them.

His family's world turned upside down when the diagnosis came back: it was acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive blood cancer. Community support from people like you made it possible for him to receive a life-saving bone marrow transplant at the hospital.

Your generosity moves medicine forward, and in light of the ongoing postal strike, your online gift is even more special this year.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮’𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿.

We invite you to read Tyson’s story to understand the vital role you can play in equipping specialists with the best knowledge and tools so they can not only save a child’s life, but their quality of life, too.

Today, Tyson likes to throw rocks in the Rockies every chance he gets, all because his team moved mountains to save him – and his childhood.

We hope you will consider the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation for Giving Tuesday, knowing the specialists you support are ready to move mountains for kids like Tyson, and knowing your gift will be matched by Alberta's dairy farmers.
