There ARE Heroes Amongst Us

The Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation magazine caught my eye while crossing the library the other day. "I know that smile!", I thought. Sure enough, on December 12, 2012 Ron Dobbin and other Rotarians and Interact members had the pleasure to meet this special little girl whose heart was an artificial one, in her back-pack!

 We were at Ronald McDonald house for the J. Percy Page Interact Club project of making a home cooked meal for folks who have to stay in Edmonton, close to the hospitals, especially the Stollery Children's Hospital. 90 meals were prepared and served and cleaned up before we had a chance to visit with the residents and hear these truly heroic stories that we must go through. Muskaan Grewal helps us see the strength and hope in ourselves.

 You can't forget that smile. I know I didn't.
