Hull & Hull LLP Supports Mac Kids
Blog subscribers are already familiar with the story of my daughter, my “Pirate Princess”, who was diagnosed last summer with a severe form of amblyopia; so severe in fact, that her brain was only exchanging messages with one of her eyes. Since her diagnosis, she has become a patient in the Ophthalmology Clinic at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton.
The McMaster Children’s Hospital (“Mac Kids”) Fundraising Council has launched a $1.3 million campaign to create the province’s largest centre of excellence for specialized pediatric eye care. I am proud to be Co-Chairing the Campaign for Pediatric Ophthalmology because of the extraordinary and utterly inspiring care my daughter receives at Mac Kids and because it will help save the sight and lives of countless children.
There are 8,000 visits to the existing eye clinic each year, although it was built decades ago for adult patients, and is equipped with aging and inadequate infrastructure. The benefits of a brand new, cutting edge Ophthalmology Unit specifically designed for treating children will be truly transformational.
As Co-Chair of this Campaign, I wish to express my sincerest thanks to Hull & Hull LLP. In yet another demonstration of their community-mindedness and generosity, the firm is among the first to step forward to support the McMaster Children’s Hospital Campaign for Pediatric Ophthalmology. In doing so, Hull & Hull LLP has seized the opportunity to ensure that children in the region have access to the best care by investing in McMaster Children’s Hospital. Hats off to you for your leadership, Hull & Hull LLP!
