Thank you to everyone who contributed to help make this year’s campaign a success.”Throughout the campaign, patient ambassadors visited Walmart stores across Canada, sharing their personal stories, helping associates and customers see the impact their donations make. Behind every donation is a child and family whose life has been changed because their local children’s hospital had the right care, expertise and support when it mattered most.Kate is one of those children. At just three weeks old, Kate was diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, a rare and life-threatening condition. Thanks to donor-funded training at McMaster Children’s Hospital, her family learned to manage her care at home. Today, Kate is a thriving teen who loves soccer and horseback riding.For more information about Children’s Miracle Network and Walmart Canada’s support of children’s hospitals, visit walmartcanada.ca or childrensmiraclenetwork.ca.Walmart Canada is a people-led, tech-powered omnichannel retailer of more than 400 stores nationwide serving 1.5 million customers each day.
