Caitlin, 7, celebrated a huge milestone this year. But not a typical milestone like learning to tell time or to cursive write; Caitlin reached the two-and-a-half year mark since her last chemotherapy treatment.
At a very young age, tests revealed Caitlin had a type of cancer called acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It’s a rapidly progressive cancer that is the most common malignancy in young children. She went to SickKids for specialty care.
This year, Caitlin is the face of the 2010 spring SickKids Lottery. Caitlin’s story represents the 100,000 children treated at The Hospital for Sick Children each year who benefit from the Lottery’s support of Foundation and Hospital programs.
When you buy a SickKids Lottery ticket you get the best of both worlds. You have the chance to win one of thousands of sensational prizes and you help further the mission of SickKids Foundation and help support The Hospital for Sick Children.
The spring Lottery offers the chance to win some very exciting prizes, including the return of the $1-million cash* grand prize and three Dream Pack Prizes. The Dream Pack Prizes include the Dream of Style, Dream of the Arts and Dream of Experience packages. In addition, there are seven cars up for grabs, a Paris vacation and three all inclusive sun vacation destinations for two!
