The Story of Madeline Ratz

Madeline is a seven-year old Kingston girl who asked for donations for the redevelopment of the Cancer Centre instead of presents at her recent birthday party. Her donation will support the treatment of kids with cancer in our region.

“My name is Madeline. I am seven years old. I want to help people feel safe, healthy and happy. I also want to help make the world a better place. For my birthday party this year, I collected donations instead of birthday gifts. I collected $255! I would like to give this money to help build the dedicated pediatric space that is being created at the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario.”
