The posters below were created from art that was submitted last year.  They are hung on the walls of the inpatient and outpatient oncology wards at Mac.  Many families have told us how happy the art makes their children on the ward - which is the main reason this art exhibition exists.  Thank you to all participants and donors - last year we raised over $30,000!!!

Why is it called the Choose Hope Art Exhibition?

​When Jack got diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, we were told that he only had a 1 in 5 chance of survival. That he had every clinical marker of an aggressive leukemia. He needed a bone marrow transplant, and that 15 out of every 100 kids who went for a bone marrow transplant would not survive. Plus he was a baby, he was less than 6 months old at diagnosis, and the doctors were very honest with me. He probably would not beat this.
​​
Hope is something that requires attention to maintain. It's hard work to keep hope alive in times of stress and in our case with Jack, complex trauma.  I had to choose to be hopeful, I chose it with a vengeance, and hope sustained me when we got news that froze my insides. Hope and faith gave me the power to go on. 

We know that other families are choosing hope while fighting cancer every day. The art is in honour of their fight and their hope for their children.
