20 We are in our last Power Hour of the day and the final hour of the Newstalk 1010 SickKids Radiothon, presented by Foresters.

This hour is sponsored by Foresters, the presenting sponsor of our annual Radiothon for the 12th year in a row. Foresters’ support for SickKids through Radiothon has led to great things at SickKids. From 2001 to 2005, Foresters helped contribute to the construction of the state-of-the-art Cardiac Diagnostic and Interventional Unit at SickKids, which is used to diagnose and treat children with congenital heart disease. This Unit houses technology that helps to eliminate the need for open-heart surgery among cardiac patients.

Foresters is a respected international life insurance provider and a fraternal benefit society. Foresters is extremely proud to be member-based, family-focused and community-spirited.

We’ve heard some amazing stories today, but it’s not over yet. Let’s make the final hour of Radiothon a success!

IMG_6873 “There is no place on Earth that feels as comforting as SickKids. It is a place we are accepted and loved and there is something pretty magical about that.” – Heather Hamilton

In 2007, Heather gave birth to twin boys Zack and Jayden. Her first born son Ty was excited to have two new siblings. However, something was not quite right with Zack and he was transferred to the SickKids Critical Care Unit right away. He required resuscitation twice upon arrival.

Zack was constantly at risk for pneumonia and frequently came to SickKids. In February 2011, he was placed on life support. A few weeks later, on March 10, Heather and her husband Paul lost their son. Ty and Jayden lost their brother.

For the Hamilton family, SickKids will always hold a special place in their hearts. Heather is here today to share their story on the Newstalk 1010 SickKids Radiothon. Please donate by visiting www.sickkidsradiothon.com or calling 1-877-798-5437.
