“A kid in my riding raised a lot of money for SickKids hospital. I want everyone to cheer for him.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, in Whitby, a simple cup of hot cocoa became something much greater. At just 13 years old, Cohen Lane turned gratitude into action when SickKids hospital worked another miracle and saved his cousin's life. What began as a small, driveway hot chocolate stand grew into a remarkable effort, including ties and scarves, that has raised over $100,000 to support children and families facing some of the hardest days of their life so their kids can access the life-saving care SickKids provides every day. This year, SickKids is recognized as the number one pediatric hospital in the world and marks its 151st anniversary. Cohen's story reminds us all why this matters: Behind every hospital room is a child, a family and a community hoping for health. Whitby and all Canadians are proud of Cohen for his compassion and leadership. I hope colleagues will help me in recognizing SickKids' first official youth ambassador.
