Kherington is positive and ambitious despite having numerous diagnoses—some life-threatening, some life-limiting—as well as a rare and unknown autoimmune disease that continues to elude a diagnosis. Her medical journey began when she had a life-threatening event happen when she was four years old.
Since then, she has received thousands of needles and multiple surgeries at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. While it can be scary, her specialists make her feel welcome and she always looks forward to her biweekly appointments.
Kherington is outgoing and loves to make friends everywhere she goes. She excels at many things and has competed in Irish Dance Championships around the world. Kherington also loves taekwondo, rhythmic gymnastics, and art.
Thanks to your support of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, kids like Kherington can get the best treatment and care possible.
