Canon loves Halloween, playing hockey, and paddling. After undergoing surgery and 26 long weeks of chemotherapy, Canon successfully beat kidney cancer.
A few months later, shortly after turning 12, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stemming from his cancer journey. After eight months of regularly scheduled therapy sessions, medication to manage his anxiety and follow-up care with his healthcare team, his family noticed a big change.
He became more present, able to function, and could actively participate in his therapy. Canon is now back to filling his days with all his favourite hobbies.
Thanks to your support of the IWK Foundation, kids like Canon can get the best treatment and care possible.
