Lilah was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at birth when a tumor the size of a golf ball was found on her adrenal gland. Despite a return of the cancer on her liver at 4 months, and treatment for most of her first year of life, she recently celebrated both 10 years cancer free and her 11th birthday.

Lilah’s spirit and strength inspired her parents to raise money for neuroblastoma research at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and over $775,000 has been raised so far from our annual events and third party donations.
