It is helping people to live fully again. It is enabling patients to overcome often devastating challenges, so that they can ultimately return to the activities they love and be there for the people who matter to them. As donors, you’re making this possible. Your contributions allow Sunnybrook to fulfi ll its vision of inventing the future of health care, right now. It is a future where advanced imaging fi nds disease sooner, before a life is threatened. Where disease is killed without ever making an incision. Where a person’s genes are the roadmap for customized treatments. Where untreatable patients are given lifesaving options that never existed before. Your generosity provides sustainable philanthropic support for the institutional priorities that are crucial to the achievement of this vision. As we look back at 2013, it is immediately apparent how integral you are to the hospital’s success. In this report, you will read the stories of lives changed by Sunnybrook and you. For instance, there is 82-year-old André Séguinot, a judo black belt who was Left: Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea Right: Perry Dellelce fi nally able to resume his weekly teaching schedule after getting his heart’s mitral valve repaired with a minimally invasive procedure. Or Julia and Todd Smeed, who were directly involved in the care of their premature twins before bringing them home to begin life as a family. Or Kim Stewart, who could get on with treatment and his life after Sunnybrook doctors used MRI to pinpoint the prostate cancer that had eluded others for months. As much as they are stories of innovation and breakthrough, they are stories of lives restored, of people and families made whole again. And above all, they are your stories, because we count on you to make them a reality. Donors invested generously across all of our care programs. Thanks to a $10-million donation from The Slaight Family Foundation, The Slaight Centre for Image-Guided Brain Therapy and Repair came into being. It is at the heart of Sunnybrook’s efforts to create therapies that will halt the steady advancement of dementia, stop stroke in its tracks and regenerate damaged brain tissue. More than $6 million was raised to support youth mental health programs, such as specialized care and research for young people with bipolar disorder. That figure also includes over $1.2 million raised for our Family Navigation Project through the inaugural RBC Run for the Kids, a twoday event that far exceeded expectations. Because of tremendous community support and a strong partnership between RBC and Sunnybrook, the project is now actively helping families by connecting teenagers suffering mental illness or addictions to the right care at the right time. In the year ahead, you can be assured we will continue to make the most of every donor dollar. It is a responsibility we take seriously – a fact recognized by the “A” grade we’ve earned in each of the four years that MoneySense magazine has scrutinized Canada’s 100 biggest charities.

Thank you for placing your trust in Sunnybrook and for giving us the tools to restore lives. Perry Dellelce Chair, Sunnybrook Foundation Board of Directors Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, C.M. President & CEO, Sunnybrook Foundation BRAIN SCIENCES PROGRAM BRAIN SCIENCES PROGRAM A Family Affair Ready or Not Right now, there isn’t a simple test to indicate whether the brain has fully healed, so doctors often use a “try it and see” approach. The problem is, if people with a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury return to play too soon and get jostled around, they lower their chances of full recovery. “We know that the cumulative effect of repeat concussions is terrible, like in boxers, for example. The next concussion is usually worse than the first,” says Sunnybrook neurosurgeon Dr. Leodante da Costa. Was NHL star Sidney Crosby ready to play when he returned to the ice after his first concussion? New research underway at Sunnybrook might have “Up to 30 per cent of people with helped answer that question. mild traumatic brain injury develop persistent physical, emotional or cognitive problems such as headaches, mood disorders or lack of focus,” he says. Teenagers Aisha, Jason and Travis found help for their struggles with mental illness thanks to an exciting new annual fundraising event created by RBC and hosted by Sunnybrook. The first RBC Run for the Kids, held last September, was a resounding success; more than 4,500 people participated, making it the fourth largest competitive race in the GTA. The event raised $1.2 million in support of the Family Navigation Project (FNP), a new resource at Sunnybrook that helps families in crisis find the specialized care they need for a child with mental illness or addiction. “Youth struggling with mental illness need our help and so do their families who often don’t know where to turn for information,” says Jamie Anderson, deputy chair, RBC Capital Markets & executive champion of RBC Children’s Mental Health Project. “We have partnered with Sunnybrook because we know the Family Navigation Project will have an immediate impact by pairing families with navigators who will lead them through the complexities of the health care system and help them get the treatment and support they need.” Since 2008, the RBC Children’s Mental Health Project has provided more than $20 million to support over 350 organizations dedicated to providing early intervention, increasing public awareness and reducing the stigma of mental illness. These donations are part of RBC’s Believe in Kids Pledge – a five-year, $100-million commitment to improve the well-being of kids and youth in Canada. Thanks to funds raised by RBC Run for the Kids, the FNP is now actively helping families. Sunnybrook navigators helped Aisha, who was trapped in a downward spiral of bulimia and addiction, find a residential program that could help her. The FNP also guided Jason and Travis, who were struggling in school because of depression and anxiety, to appropriate resources. These teenagers aren’t alone. As many as two million young people in Canada are struggling with mental health problems or addiction. “Parents have told us that they’ve waited months for help, only to be told they’re in the wrong line. With the Family Navigation Project, there is no wrong line,” says Dr. Anthony Levitt, medical director of the project. The 2014 RBC Run for the Kids is set for September 20 at Mel Lastman Square, with three great challenges to choose from: a 5k walk/run, a 15k run and a 25k run. For more information, go to: rbcrunforthekids.ca “They look normal. There are no bruises, and on CAT and MRI imaging they have normal parameters.” To stop the cycle of repeat injury, he is leading an international initiative to develop a simple and objective test that can detect whether it is safe to return to play or work. The test involves having patients breathe in carbon dioxide (CO 2) through a special mask and carefully monitoring their brain activity using functional MRI. Doctors assess each person’s “cerebrovascular reactivity” – reactions in the small blood vessels in the brain. “In normal people, you give them CO2 and their blood flow increases. In traumatic brain injury, the little blood vessels might not react. They are paralyzed, which puts the brain at more risk for injury.” This test could be a new way to identify injury to the brain that currently can’t be seen. “It’s like a stress test for the brain,” says Dr. da Costa. “It might help us to establish the right time to return to play,” for Sidney Crosby and countless others. SCHULICH HEART PROGRAM LIFE AT A STEADY CLIP After waking from a minimally invasive procedure to repair his leaking heart valve, André Séguinot was astounded to learn from his surgeon he would be discharged from Sunnybrook’s Schulich Heart Centre the next day. “I SAID, ‘TELL ME what I’m supposed to do, doctor. Can I walk?’ ‘Yes, you should walk.’ ‘Can I bicycle?’ ‘Yes, you can bicycle.’ ‘Can I travel? Can I fly?’ ‘Yes, you can.’ ‘Doctor, just between us, can I have sex?’ ‘Yes, you can have sex.’” André, 82, laughs heartily at the memory. The retired University of Toronto professor was treated for mitral regurgitation, a condition in which the mitral valve does not close as tightly as it should, causing blood to leak in the wrong direction. Left untreated, it can cause irreversible heart failure. Sunnybrook is one of only three hospitals in Canada performing the MitraClip procedure. The $33,000 procedure is not yet fully funded by the province so patients must rely on Sunnybrook donors. Like many patients who are older or who have other health conditions, André was a poor candidate for open heart surgery, which has a recovery time of one to three months. “The MitraClip procedure provides a lasting solution for people who otherwise might be out of treatment options,” says Dr. Gideon Cohen, Sunnybrook’s chief of cardiac surgery. The MitraClip is fed through a catheter inserted in the patient’s groin and travels to the mitral valve, where it attaches, tightening the valves’ leaflets. THANKS TO AN INNOVATIVE NEW HEART PROCEDURE, ANDRÉ SÉGUINOT HAS THE STRENGTH AGAIN FOR HIS WEEKLY JAZZ GIGS, JUDO CLASSES AND ALL THE THINGS HE ENJOYS. After eight months of being so exhausted he could barely rise from his sofa or bed, André was able to return to his favourite activities. The fourth-degree judo black belt resumed his weekly teaching schedule. He took up cycling again and went back to playing guitar in a jazz sextet that has a weekly gig at a Toronto jazz club. “I have my life back,” André says. SCHULICH HEART PROGRAM SCHULICH HEART PROGRAM Heart of the Family As the Barford family grew, so too did Sunnybrook, the hospital next door. Beth Malcolm, chair of the Ralph M. Barford Foundation, recalls seeing K-Wing rise. Indeed, it’s the 50-plus years of relationshipbuilding with the doctors, nurses and other staff that led her family’s foundation to first support the hospital, she says. “We have been helped by many of the doctors and nurses,” says her 84-year-old father, Ralph Barford. “Dr. Doug Johnson, Dr. Alison Culbert, Louise Mac Isaac, RN and office coordinator Chandra Ram in the family practice, as well as by Dr. Scott Walsh in dermatology and Dr. Brian Gilbert in cardiology.” Scholarships and fellowships are a chief area of interest for the foundation, which has established a Fellowship in Cardiology at the Schulich Heart Centre. It will provide two years of support for three fellows who intend to continue their careers in Canada. Beth met recently with Dr. Tasnim Vira, the first of the cardiac fellows they will fund. “She’s just wonderful,” Beth says. “She’s full of energy and very passionate.” For her part, Dr. Vira says the fellowship allows her to “focus on integrated training in a combination of both echocardiography [a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound to image the heart] and advanced cardiac imaging. Sunnybrook’s program really is unique. The staff are amazing and it is great to have an opportunity to draw from the expertise of the excellent radiologists and cardiologists here. The fellowship also allows me the opportunity to further develop my teaching skills at the University of Toronto.” Philanthropy is a family tradition, Beth says. “Dad always felt that giving back is incredibly important and I feel it’s a real privilege in my life.” “Our support,” Ralph says, “is a thank you for the years of medical counsel and support that Sunnybrook has provided to our family.” Double Vision Sunnybrook’s Dr. Brian Courtney has developed a hybrid imaging catheter that offers the advantages of two types of imaging, providing a precise look inside coronary arteries. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of adult death in developed nations, so improved imaging will address important clinical and research needs. More advanced forms of imaging are used when an angiogram can’t give complete enough information about coronary atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup), explains Dr. Courtney, a clinician scientist with the Schulich Heart Research Program. The advanced imaging used for 20 years has typically been intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), which images well through blood and tissue. But limitations in the resolution and contrast of IVUS images means it can’t always identify specific features of a plaque or even that a clot definitely exists. A newer type of imaging – optical coherence tomography (OCT) – offers much better resolution, allowing it to definitively identify a clot or tear, for instance. OCT, however, can’t penetrate well through tissue and blood. “There is a lot to be gained by having both on the same catheter,” Dr. Courtney says. “The IVUS can say there’s a big plaque here, and OCT can tell you the plaque is of a certain type.” This hybrid imaging catheter will give doctors more precise, patient-specific information to guide treatment decisions, such as whether a stent should be used to improve outcomes. The technology also has research applications, such as the opportunity to monitor the progression and regression of narrowing of arteries. Early testing and product refinements have been successful and generated significant international attention. Thanks to a partnership between Sunnybrook, where Dr. Courtney’s team developed and tested prototypes, and a medical device start-up firm, Colibri Technologies Inc., through which it is being brought to market, this new catheter may reach heart patients as soon as 2015. TRAUMA, EMERGENCY & CRITICAL CARE PROGRAM BACK IN THE GAME The fi rst year of university was over and Brendan Beloniak and his high school buddies had gathered for a fun weekend at a Muskoka cottage. ONE EVENING, he and a friend returned to the cottage to see smoke coming from the chimney. Brendan climbed atop the bungalow to try to douse the flames with a garbage can of water. The roof collapsed, throwing him to the sub-roof two metres below. In shock and with his clothes burning, Brendan managed to get back onto the roof and roll to the ground while his friend raced to call 9-1-1. Rushed by ambulance to a hospital in Bracebridge, Brendan was stabilized then air-lifted to Sunnybrook’s Ross Tilley Burn Centre. He spent four days in an induced coma, suffering from third-degree burns to 30 per cent of his body and fourth-degree burns to his leg. His family kept a constant vigil. After a month at Sunnybrook, Brendan spent the next seven as an outpatient at Sunnybrook’s St. John’s Rehab, where he again credits the staff with motivating and working with him so that, now 27, he has no mobility problems. He’s back to snowboarding, cycling, kayaking and hockey. “It’s priceless the kind of care we got from beginning to end,” Brendan says. AFTER SUFFERING A DEVASTATING INJURY, BRENDAN BELONIAK HAS FULLY REGAINED HIS MOBILITY AND HIS ACTIVE LIFE. HE’S BACK TO PLAYING SPORTS, ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS, AND MAKING PLANS FOR HIS NEW CAREER. In fact, Brendan’s experience led him to alter his career plans: today he’s a paramedic. “I feel so fortunate. Of course, you never want anything to happen. But the fact the burn centre and Sunnybrook are there in case something does happen is invaluable.” Despite the pain of skin grafts and repeated dressing changes, Brendan’s clearest memory is of “how great the people were. They made me as comfortable as possible, and a nurse brought in my favourite music.” The physiotherapists’ encouragement overcame Brendan’s initial belief that his fingers were so stiffened he might never use them properly again. TRAUMA, EMERGENCY & CRITICAL CARE PROGRAM TRAUMA, EMERGENCY & CRITICAL CARE PROGRAM Raising the Rooftop Passionate Sunnybrook donors and volunteers Rosemary and Rob McLeese believed pairing the inaugural Concours d’Elegance in their Georgian Bay Cobble Beach Resort Community with a fundraiser for Sunnybrook’s rooftop helipad made a lot of sense. “Bruce Peninsula residents and local Concours volunteers appreciate that if they had a serious accident in that area, Sunnybrook could be the hospital they would be flown to,” says Rosemary, a member of Sunnybrook Foundation’s Board of Directors and Governing Council and, with her husband Rob, a long-time Sunnybrook donor. “A helipad on the roof will give patients the best chance possible when minutes are critical.” The world’s first Concours d’Elegance – or competition of elegance – dates back to 17th-century Paris, where horse-drawn carriages paraded through the parks. The Cobble Beach Concours was first conceived of by Rob and his father, Willis, who bought the property just north of Owen Sound in 1998 and developed a picturesque residential community with an award-winning golf course and resort centre. Though Willis McLeese did not live long enough to experience it, his dream was realized in September 2013 – when he would have celebrated his 100th birthday. Rob believes his dad was there in spirit: it rained both the day before and after, but during the Concours the sky was a brilliant blue with mist rising over the Georgian Bay waters. Doctors Without Barriers “With Sunnybrook treating Ontario’s most critically injured patients, the hospital aims to provide them with the best possible care,” says Dr. Brian Cuthbertson, chief of the Department of Critical Care Medicine. “It has broken down barriers,” Dr. Cuthbertson says, allowing for more “seamless, high-quality care.” Intensive care specialists lead the team, whose members include neurosurgeons, neurologists, respiratory technicians, nurses and physiotherapists, all with knowledge, expertise and interest in the area. “It’s much more collegial now,” adds Dr. Phan. The new model has helped Sunnybrook meet the highest international standards for managing traumatic brain injury. Treatment plans are set out early and consistent standards are maintained. Early evaluations suggest the level of care has improved over the two years since the reorganization began. Dr. Cuthbertson notes the change involved no construction or new equipment, just a new way of using resources to optimize care. “We’re supplying the most effective care in the most cost-effective fashion.” The Concours is “a show of elegant and rarely seen automobiles often viewed as art,” Rob says. The event exceeded expectations, drawing 4,000-plus visitors and raising more than $50,000 for Sunnybrook’s helipad. The event’s success has led to even greater interest in the Sept. 13-14 show this year, Rob says, with participants from as far afield as Texas, Florida, Newfoundland and Italy. The first car produced in Canada will be there, the 1867 Seth Taylor, which normally resides at the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology. Proceeds will again go toward the helipad. That was the impetus behind a reorganization that has led to patients with brain and spinal cord injuries being treated in a “virtual” neurocritical care unit. “Sunnybrook is the only hospital in Canada that has a dedicated neurocritical care service,” says Dr. Nicolas Phan, the neurosurgeon who helped bring the model to Sunnybrook. A key focus is to prevent a secondary brain injury to an already injured brain, he says. Previously, Sunnybrook ’s main critical care unit did not separate patients by diagnosis. But, published research and wide-ranging internal discussions led them to conclude that wasn’t optimal, Dr. Cuthbertson says. Today, a dedicated neurocritical care team treats brain and spinal cord patients (often young victims of car crashes), from ultra-acute care through rehabilitation and preparing to go home. Dr. Brian Cuthbertson RESEARCH A BETTER VIEW Sunnybrook’s novel use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect prostate cancer made a big difference in Kim Stewart’s life – it found the cancer that had eluded his doctors for months. Kim then received his MRI scan in June 2013. Not long very high, but not being able to before that, the use of MRI to detect prostate cancer confirm whether I had cancer was only being used on a – that was very confusing research basis at Sunnybrook. and worrying,” says Kim, a Dr. Masoom Haider, chief of 52-year-old Toronto resident. Sunnybrook’s Department His PSA level was around of Medical Imaging, and his 25 nanograms/millilitre (ng/ml), colleagues were carrying well above the 4 ng/ml level out research to help prove that many doctors consider the value of MRI in prostate normal.

A NOVEL USE OF MRI HELPED KIM STEWART FINALLY DETECT HIS ELUSIVE CANCER. NOW, INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT THE ONE THING HE COULDN’T SEE, HE’S FOCUSED ON ALL THE THINGS THAT HE STILL CAN – LIKE HIS HOCKEY TEAM IN ACTION OR HIS FAVOURITE BANDS. Having since undergone prostate surgery to remove the cancer, Kim says he feels fortunate and is looking forward to a healthy future. RESEARCH RESEARCH The moment was equally transformational “This truly is a magical at Sunnybrook, establishing The Slaight moment for our family.” Centre for Image-Guided Brain Therapy and Repair, which will conduct the first-ever That’s how Gary Slaight clinical trials of revolutionary treatments described The Slaight Family for dementia, stroke and brain tumours. “This announcement allows us to Foundation’s landmark carry on the tradition of giving back to the $10-million investment in community, as exemplified by my parents Sunnybrook in October 2013 Ada and Allan, as well as Emmanuelle Gattuso-Slaight,” Gary said. as part of a comprehensive “On behalf of my wife Donna, $50-million gift to five our daughters Ali and Chrissy, Toronto hospitals. and our entire family, we feel profoundly grateful to be in a position to provide these hospitals with gifts that we hope will benefit Torontonians for many years to come.” The Slaight family has become as renowned in the world of philanthropy as it is in the broadcasting world – a considerable achievement given the Slaights built the Extraordinary Vision Windows of Opportunity largest privately owned radio network in Canada. They have made many generous donations benefiting health-care institutions, the arts and youth. The family’s latest investment in Sunnybrook is its largest to this institution. Establishing The Slaight Centre at Sunnybrook complements the family’s 2010 gift, in which Ada and The Slaight Family Foundation donated $1.5 million to aid the construction of Sunnybrook’s Brain Imaging Research Centre and to create The Slaight Family Foundation Brain Sciences Fellowship. The Brain Imaging Research Centre plays a vital role in research on diverse neurodegenerative mood disorders, stroke and brain trauma, using a variety of imaging technologies to visualize the brain and its blood supply. Meanwhile, the multidisciplinary fellowship provides stable funding for Sunnybrook researchers as they advance the world’s understanding of brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. “The Slaight family’s impact on Sunnybrook – on the health of Canadians – has been extraordinary,” says Dr. Barry McLellan, president and CEO of Sunnybrook. Sunnybrook scientists are poised to become the first to be able to visualize toxic plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, and to target this plaque to improve memory, thinking and other cognitive functions. This innovative therapy and others will be made possible by the acquisition of a leading-edge PET-MRI imaging system, the cornerstone of Sunnybrook’s new Slaight Centre for Image-Guided Brain Therapy and Repair. It will be the only PET-MRI machine – simultaneous positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging – in the world to be paired with a device that enables the temporary opening of the blood-brain barrier for direct delivery of drugs and other therapies to the brain. Opening the barrier – a layer of tightly packed cells – is no small feat. It exists for good reason: to protect the brain from harmful substances, like noxious chemicals and infectious agents. But it also blocks the passage of helpful medications and other therapies into the brain. “PET-MRI is the perfect hybrid imaging system for the brain,” says Dr. Kullervo Hynynen, a co-leader of The Slaight Centre and the Canada Research Chair in Imaging Systems and Image-Guided Therapy. “The MRI component will allow us to map where patients have brain defects so we can precisely direct therapies to promote cellular health and restore function. The PET imaging will allow us to see exactly what’s happening and evaluate how brain cells recover their function.” In groundbreaking preclinical research, Dr. Hynynen and Sunnybrook colleagues have safely opened small, temporary windows in the blood-brain barrier by using low-intensity focused ultrasound. Slaight Centre researchers aim to translate these advances to patients to treat dementia, stroke and other brain diseases. “The impact will be tremendous. We will have treatment options where we have nothing now,” says Dr. Sandra Black, a co-leader of the centre and director of Sunnybrook’s Brain Sciences Research Program. Ultimately, it is expected the Slaight Centre’s research will lead to the day when the steady advancement of dementia is halted, when stroke is stopped in its tracks and when damaged brain tissue is regenerated, restoring the brain to a more fully functioning state. VETERANS & COMMUNITY PROGRAM CALM AFTER THE STORM Nothing fazes Carl. At 91, this escaped prisoner of war and former businessman is content with his life at Sunnybrook’s Veterans Centre, where he’s immersed in a peaceful, structured routine. HIS WAR YEARS were not as tranquil. During the Second World War, Carl Boggild was a flight lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Air Force, navigating Lancaster bombers. He was shot down and injured over Nuremberg in 1943, and taken prisoner at Stalag Luft III, where he helped build the escape tunnel made famous by the movie “The Great Escape.” Carl’s job was to help gather bed boards and pieces of wood from under the barracks to fortify the massive tunnel. The escape occurred in March 1944. Luckily for Carl, he wasn’t high up enough in the hierarchy of the prisoners to make the escape. Out of 76 men who went down the tunnel, 73 were re-captured. Fifty were executed by the Gestapo. Later in the war, in April 1945, Carl staged his own risky escape. While on a march through German countryside near Bremen, he and a friend rolled into a ditch and waited for the column of men to depart. He is modest about these tales of courage. “Survival is a basic instinct, you know,” he says lightly. Seventy years after his daring escape, Carl is grateful for the calm routine of life at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre, where staff promotes the ABLE philosophy – Achieving Best Life Experience. “We capitalize on each person’s abilities and interests to achieve the life experience they desire, through creative therapies and enrichment activities,” says Dr. Jocelyn Charles, medical director of the Veterans Centre. Carl enjoys reading, hanging out with his friend Digger, and participating in group discussions. “I like it here,” says Carl. “I’m very happy.” IN CONTRAST TO HIS REMARK ABLE STORY OF SURVIVAL DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, CARL BOGGILD IS GRATEFUL FOR THE PEACEFUL LIFE HE HAS AT THE SUNNYBROOK VETERANS CENTRE. By foot, they travelled west, sleeping under the floors of buildings. Carl arrived safely in England just a month before the war ended. VETERANS & COMMUNITY PROGRAM For Those Who Served VETERANS & COMMUNITY PROGRAM Martha Smith personifies the concept of giving back. She recently retired and donated $25,000 she had accrued in vacation pay to the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre in honour of her mother and father. Martha’s parents, Sheila and Haydon Smith, were both veterans of the Second World War and Sheila was a much-adored resident at Sunnybrook’s L-Wing for several years before her death in February 2013. “I’m very grateful to Sunnybrook,” says Martha, who lives in Toronto. “The kindness and care my mother received from the recreation therapy and nursing staff was unbelievable. It was like a family.” Martha’s donation is the largest to date specifically designated to the Veterans Comfort Fund. This is particularly apt, as her mother Sheila – despite having macular degeneration and deteriorating health – was an enthusiastic participant in many of the activities offered to veterans at Sunnybrook through the fund. Sheila’s feisty character – along with the extraordinary care and optimism offered by Sunnybrook staff – helped her recover from a broken hip, a broken neck and, twice, a broken pelvis. Martha believes each of these setbacks could have killed her. “Each time, she came back. I attribute this to a strong will and a willingness of the physiotherapy department to not give up on her.” In recognition, Martha has arranged to have the balance area in the physiotherapy gym named in her parents’ honour. Sheila died just a few days before her 93rd birthday. Martha, now retired after 33 years as a director in the social housing sector, continues to visit and volunteer at the Veterans Centre. “Giving back to the people who made my mother’s life so comfortable and better in her waning years is really important to me,” she says. “I’m donating not because I have extreme wealth,” she adds. “It’s something you can do no matter how little you have.” A Son Shines Peter Cipriano believes passionately that geriatric medicine is a high priority. He remembers how scary it was in 2012 when his elderly mother, suffering from both Parkinson’s and dementia, became catatonic. He also recalls his profound relief when she returned to consciousness after a geriatrician at Sunnybrook identified it was her medication that was causing the catatonic state. At the age of 90, Peter’s father was also a patient at Sunnybrook. A geriatrician guided his care and answered all of Peter’s questions. “I found it incredibly stressful dealing with the complexity of my parents’ health issues,” Peter says. “It helped to ease my worries to know that they had a geriatrician looking after them. I’m truly grateful for that resource.” Peter turned that gratitude into giving. He personally contributes funds to Sunnybrook’s Geriatric Medicine Program and encourages his friends and associates to do the same. Peter is the president of the Irpinia Club, an Italian social club created in 1977 by Italian-Canadians from the Irpinia region of Italy. Peter and the club have together raised $217,500 since 2012 towards improving and expanding Sunnybrook’s Geriatric Medicine Program. The program, which includes geriatricians, clinical nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, a recreation therapist, a speech language pathologist, a social worker and administrative assistants, works with more than 6,000 patient visits per year. The average age of patients is 87. “Being elderly does not preclude you from the same type of care or service a younger adult or child receives,” says Peter. He is thrilled to be a catalyst for leadership in geriatric medicine. “I see Sunnybrook with its teaching hospital designation and existing Geriatric Medicine Program as a leader in making geriatric medicine inclusive at all health centres down the road.” WOMEN & BABIES PROGRAM FAMILY MATTERS Julia and Todd Smeed’s twins were born so early, so tiny and so sick that the new parents were terrified they would lose them. this couple, from Milton, Ontario, realized that their babies would survive and that they themselves would be an integral part of the critical care team. BUT ONLY WEEKS L ATER The Smeeds were part of a model of care in Sunnybrook’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) called Family Integrated Care, or FICare for short. FICare puts parents in the driver’s seat, fully involved in their infants’ care. Victoria and Joshua were born at just 27 weeks’ gestation. Victoria weighed just 1 lb 14 oz (840 g) and Joshua weighed a little more than 2.3 lbs (1,040 g). “I didn’t know if they would live,” says Julia. “I remember sitting beside the incubator and the nurses said, ‘Tomorrow you’ll help change their diapers,’ ” she says. “I didn’t think I could do it. I was terrified because they were so tiny. Each of them fit in the palm of my hand.” An important part of FICare is teaching parents to care for their babies, hands-on, despite all the life-saving tubes and wires that make it complicated. They are also coached to present their babies’ case on ward rounds. “FICare is very innovative,” says Dr. Eugene Ng, chief of newborn and developmental paediatrics at Sunnybrook and a co-investigator in the clinical trial. “By involving parents in the discussion and decision-making process, we hope they will be more satisfied with the experience. They’ll also be more confident in their child’s care when they take their babies home.” “I did it!” says Julia. “I changed the diaper. Wow. I felt like a mom for the first time. Something about diaper changing is very healing.” FOR THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF THEIR NEWBORNS’ LIVES, JULIA AND TODD SMEED PRACTICALLY LIVED AT SUNNYBROOK. NOW, WITH THEIR BABIES BACK HOME AND HEALTHY, THEY’RE ENJOYING THE NORMAL THINGS THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED, LIKE COOKING IN THEIR OWN KITCHEN OR TAKING A STROLL OUTSIDE – AS A FAMILY. The twins stayed at Sunnybrook’s NICU for two months, and the Smeeds were valued members of the health-care team. “We didn’t feel like visitors. This was our home. This was where we cared for our babies.” Sunnybrook is part of a FICare study of 675 infants in 19 centres across Canada. Results will show scientifically whether FICare improves outcomes. Nurses already know it does. “Babies do better when their parents are involved in care,” says RN Cathy Travell, Sunnybrook’s FICare coordinator. Victoria and Joshua are now home and thriving – with their parents by their side, just where they’ve always been. WOMEN & BABIES PROGRAM WOMEN & BABIES PROGRAM A Daughter’s Love Sarah Bryant has experienced great joy and deep sorrow. Uniquely, she knows the two can arrive at once. On April 8, 2013, Sarah and her partner G. Scott Paterson, who live in Toronto, found out that Sarah’s dad was due to have heart surgery the next day in Sudbury. Sarah was eight months pregnant with her first child. Sarah was distraught over the news of her father’s impending surgery. That night, she went into early labour and she and Scott headed for Sunnybrook’s Women & Babies Program, where Dr. Arthur Zaltz was her obstetrician. The next morning, still in labour, Sarah called her dad to wish him well on his heart procedure, and tell him she loved him. He replied, “I love you, sweetie.” Those turned out to be his final words to her. That afternoon, Sarah gave birth to a baby girl, Priscilla-Tia, who weighed 4.5 lbs (2,052 g). At 10 p.m., just hours after his first grandchild was born, Sarah’s dad, Timothy Robert Bryant, passed away. The Tia in Priscilla-Tia’s name is in honour of Tim. Sarah was crushed. “My dad was my best friend; he was my rock. We spoke every single day.” In addition to grieving, she now faced the responsibilities of caring for a premature baby. The Sunnybrook team stepped in to provide Sarah and Priscilla-Tia the extra care and time in hospital they needed to gain strength. “I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Zaltz and his staff. They were so gentle and so professional; they were concerned, caring and kind,” says Sarah. In gratitude, Sarah and Scott have donated $100,000 to support Sunnybrook’s Women & Babies Program. Priscilla-Tia is a healthy, happy baby. “She’s the spitting image of my father,” says Sarah. Kidney Gains Women with severe kidney disease are usually counselled not to get pregnant because it is too risky – often resulting in maternal and fetal illness and even death. A new study led by a Sunnybrook researcher has found dramatically better outcomes are possible when pregnant women with severe kidney disease, medically known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), receive more than double the standard amount of dialysis. “Pregnancy may be safe and feasible in women with ESRD receiving intensive hemodialysis,” says lead author Dr. Michelle Hladunewich, director of the division of nephrology and obstetrical medicine at Sunnybrook. “It’s not as hopeless as people may think.” The study compared outcomes from 22 pregnancies in the Toronto Pregnancy and Kidney Disease Clinic and Registry (2000 to 2013) with outcomes from 70 pregnancies in the American Registry for Pregnancy in Dialysis Patients (1990 to 2011). In Toronto, pregnant women received an average of 43 hours of dialysis a week, compared to 17 hours in the U.S. group. The Toronto group of women had significantly higher live birth rates (83 per cent) than those in the American group (53 per cent). “These are remarkable differences in outcome,” says Dr. Hladunewich, who is also an associate professor in the department of medicine, division of nephrology, at the University of Toronto. There were further benefits associated with the more intensive dialysis provided here in Toronto. Pregnancies lasted longer (a median 36 weeks, compared to 27 weeks for the U.S. group) and birth weights were higher. Only 6 per cent of the Canadian babies were classified as very low birth weight, compared with 29 per cent of infants in the U.S. group. The study was published in the prestigious Journal of the American Society of Nephrology in early 2014. With its Regional Dialysis Centre and nearby Aubrey & Marla Dan Program for High-Risk Mothers & Babies, Sunnybrook has a unique capacity to care for women who have illnesses such as ESRD that would otherwise preclude them from having a baby. ODETTE CANCER PROGRAM SOMEONE TO LEAN ON It wasn’t long after Mark Ottenbrite and his wife returned from their 25th wedding anniversary trip to Europe in 2011 that Mark felt a lump on his neck about the size of a small egg. WITHIN WEEKS Mark was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer, an aggressive type that makes up just one per cent of thyroid cancers. He was told he likely had three to six months to live. Over the next several months, Mark’s body was weakened – though the cancer eliminated – by surgery and weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. He was hospitalized to treat a blockage in the main artery of his lungs. As Mark says, he “spiralled out of control, and had huge aggression and rage,” due to a combination of stress and medication side-effects. The turmoil in Mark’s life has been immense, but has been made considerably more manageable thanks to the care he has received through the Odette Cancer Centre’s Patient and Family Support Program. “I don’t know how well I would have survived all of this without it,” Mark says of the treatment he has received from psychologist Dr. Pavla Reznicek and psychiatrist Dr. Janet Ellis. Having his depression treated and a “totally neutral third person” to speak with has been invaluable, he says, noting that it can be difficult to be frank with family and friends “because you don’t want to A career-focused person, Mark burden them, and you don’t has not yet been able to return want to talk about the fear.” to work.

As fought a common enemy. part of its holistic approach to care, the Odette Cancer Centre has made the expansion of its supportive care programming and spaces a top priority. AFTER HIS CANCER DIAGNOSIS, MARK OTTENBRITE FELT LIKE HE WAS LOSING HIS CONNECTION TO EVERYTHING HE LOVED IN LIFE – THINGS LIKE COOKING, TRAVELLING AND BEING THERE FOR HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE SUPPORT OF SUNNYBROOK WAS INVALUABLE IN HELPING HIM GET THROUGH HIS DIFFICULT TIMES. ODETTE CANCER PROGRAM From left: Robert Lauzon, managing director and deputy chief investment officer at Middlefield Group; Murray Brasseur, chairman of Middlefield Group; Dr. Calvin Law, chief of the Odette Cancer Program; Dean Orrico, president and chief investment officer at Middlefield Group; Jeremy Brasseur, managing director of corporate development at Middlefield Group ODETTE CANCER PROGRAM Fully Invested Middlefield Group, a leading Having an impact on the community has been just as important to the firm, which Canadian investment firm, has donated more than $1.2 million to Sunnybrook. Murray, the firm’s chairman, knows how to make an been one of Sunnybrook’s biggest impact in the business world. has champions, inspiring colleagues (including It’s become a key player in Dean Orrico and Garth Jestley), family and friends to support the work of the the investment services Odette Cancer Program. sector since Murray Brasseur founded it in 1979. Today, “Sunnybrook is a first-class Middlefield Group has institution,” Murray says. “Its offices in Toronto, Calgary facilities, staff and treatments and London, England. are all top-notch. We’re proud to invest in the Odette Cancer Program so that it can continue to push the boundaries of cancer care.” “About 10 to 15 per cent of women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are at risk of developing invasive breast cancer, but we don’t know who they are,” says Sunnybrook’s Dr. Eileen Rakovitch, a leading DCIS researcher who holds the L.C. Campbell Chair in Breast Cancer Research. “We need to look deeper by studying genetic alterations.” Dr. Rakovitch and her team, in partnership with the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and a private company, are doing precisely that. They’re getting closer to establishing a genetic test that can distinguish between DCIS patients at high or low risk of developing invasive breast cancer. They’re doing so through laboratory tests involving pathology samples from 2,000 DCIS patients. That’s exactly what Sunnybrook will do with its Cancer Ablation Therapy Program, the latest focus of Middlefield Group-related philanthropy. The program will pioneer treatments that destroy tumours without surgery, using heat, radiation, focal drug delivery or combinations of these therapies. And through real-time MRI guidance, the treatments will precisely target tumours and spare healthy tissue like never before. A generous donation was made to the program by Middlefield Group, Jeremy and Andreana Brasseur (Murray’s son and daughter-in-law), and LNG Investment Group (Ewan Gillespie, Tom Laurie and Gord Nichols). Middlefield Group’s impact can been seen in several other areas, from Sunnybrook’s state-of-the-art chemotherapy unit to its Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre to its cutting-edge cancer research. Time and again, Sunnybrook has been part of his life, Murray says. “My wife Bonnie, who succumbed to breast cancer, received extraordinary care at Sunnybrook. My grandchildren were born here. This place really does hold a special place in my heart.” Risk Management To prevent the over- and under-treatment of women with DCIS breast cancer, medical science must be able to predict which of these patients is at high risk for developing an invasive, potentially lifethreatening breast cancer. “Being able to distinguish between those at high or low risk is crucial, because different treatments are suitable for each group,” says Dr. Rakovitch, medical director of Sunnybrook’s Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre. “A woman at low risk may be able to receive breast-conserving surgery alone to remove the DCIS or possibly no treatment at all. But if she’s at high risk she would be best treated with radiation after surgery, or possibly mastectomy, to reduce the odds of developing an invasive breast cancer. “A genetic test will transform the treatment of DCIS, enabling doctors to plan the most appropriate therapy for individual women,” Dr. Rakovitch adds. Such tailored treatment will have multiple benefits. Women at low risk will avoid unnecessary radiation and the sideeffects that can go along with it, and high-risk patients will receive treatment that could prevent them from having to wage a battle with invasive breast cancer. ODETTE CANCER PROGRAM HOLLAND MUSCULOSKELETAL PROGRAM Less Is More More than an ocean apart, a Sunnybrook researcher and his counterpart in Israel are teaming up to help bring more effective and less toxic cancer drug therapies into the mainstream. The unique global partnership includes Dr. Robert Kerbel, a senior scientist at Sunnybrook, and Dr. Yuval Shaked, an associate professor at Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) in Haifa, who made his mark as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Kerbel’s laboratory. The two are aiming to get a better understanding of why “less can be more” when it comes to chemotherapy, which is traditionally delivered through high doses of toxic anti-cancer drugs, usually given every few weeks for up to five months. Dr. Kerbel and Dr. Shaked are at the forefront of a promising treatment strategy – known as metronomic chemotherapy – that has fewer side-effects and may extend survival of patients with cancers that spread aggressively. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, metronomic chemo uses lower and less toxic doses that are delivered more frequently, even daily, over prolonged periods (for instance, more than a year). However, to spur additional and muchneeded clinical trials – and to move metronomic chemotherapy from a niche concept to a widely used therapy – the medical oncology world needs a better understanding of the biological mechanisms the treatment uses to attack cancers. “We’re getting these answers through our partnership,” Dr. Kerbel says. “For instance, my lab is investigating the ability of metronomic chemo to harm cancer cells that are usually resistant to conventional chemo, while Dr. Shaked is determining whether it can delay cancer recurrence by targeting the reactive host response that often comes with chemo,” he adds. “Ultimately, we want to uncover evidence so that metronomic chemo can become a standard treatment that helps cancer patients around the world.” Through a generous donation from Michael and Rena Buckstein, Sunnybrook Foundation and Israel Cancer Research Fund are partnering to fund this innovative Canadian-Israeli program. Dr. Robert Kerbel Perfect Combination Sunnybrook spine surgeon Dr. Albert Yee and his team are world leaders in performing innovative “two-for-one” operations on patients whose cancers have spread to their spines and who are at risk of paralysis if left untreated. The fi rst portion of the procedure uses new, minimally invasive biologic techniques in the spine to kill as many tumour cells as possible. The second is a procedure historically performed alone that injects bone cement to mechanically stabilize diseased vertebrae. They aim to reach patients who are high risk or have early spine symptoms “before it becomes a very major, critical issue,” says Dr. Yee, an associate scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute. “By the time the patient becomes paralyzed there’s not much we can do.” Cancer that spreads to the spine (typically breast, prostate or lung) can weaken and break the bones. And with the spine’s nerve elements controlling neurological functions, paralysis is a real risk. The fi rst in the world to use this experimental therapeutic combination, Sunnybrook is conducting clinical research trials for the double procedure that uses photodynamic therapy (PDT) to kill cancer cells, followed by a bone cement vertebral stabilization procedure. PDT uses a drug to make cells sensitive to laser light then kills the cancer cells with the laser. The vertebral stabilization involves injecting cement through a small hole in the skin to repair and stabilize the bones, relieving back pain that can be crippling. Sunnybrook is also using new forms of bone-targeted radiofrequency ablation, which sends electrical energy through a needle to kill tumour cells, followed by the bone cement procedure. Patients return home after these minimally invasive procedures either the same or next day, unlike conventional open-surgery treatments with three- to five-day hospital stays. The best part, Dr. Yee says, is seeing dramatic and immediate improvement in pain. “Some patients can’t even walk because their back pain is so bad. Afterwards, they’re much more mobile. They’re very happy.” HOLLAND MUSCULOSKELETAL PROGRAM ON TOP OF THE WORLD Just as Betsy McGregor was preparing in 2000 to join an expedition to Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, the tallest peak in the Americas, acute pain in her right hip led her to Sunnybrook’s Dr. Marvin Tile. SHE WAS DIAGNOSED with early onset osteoarthritis but Dr. Tile encouraged her to tackle the mountain. Betsy reached the summit and brought the doctor a stone from the peak. Her hip progressively worsened over the years and she developed a limp. Still, the leadership trainer managed to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and bring back another stone to Sunnybrook. It was the rigours of the campaign trail during her 2008 and 2011 bids for Parliament that finally led Betsy to a hip replacement, performed by the Holland Orthopaedic & Arthritic Centre’s Dr. Markku Nousiainen. “He gave me all the tools I needed to make an informed decision and solid confidence to proceed,” she says. She also found the Holland Centre’s pre-operative workshop with nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and former patients to be valuable in preparing for the operation. Dr. Nousiainen, his assistant Lovena Smith, and the team of nurses and physiotherapists gave her “extraordinary” care, she says, offering the evidence, knowledge and information she needed. THANKS TO HER HIP REPLACEMENT PERFORMED AT SUNNYBROOK, BETSY MCGREGOR IS READY TO CONTINUE EXPLORING NEW ADVENTURES. SHE’S ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO HER NEXT TRIP. “The post-operative pace is breathtaking – you get out of bed and start walking,” she laughs. “They gave me great confidence in the pace of my recovery. There was no pity, it was all progress.” The Lakefield resident was released after three days and sent home with a detailed recovery plan. Nine months after her hip replacement, Betsy hiked 350 kilometres of the Camino pilgrimage across Spain and resumed her mountain leadership adventures in Wales. Reached as she was leaving for a speaking engagement on women entering politics, she concluded, “the Holland Centre delivered superb care. Hip replacement is an elegant technology that has given me a pain-free world.” Betsy plans to take up fencing this summer. KILGOUR SOCIETY SUNNYBROOK A Lasting Legacy Although they may not know it, the countless patients and veterans cared for at Sunnybrook over its 66-year history owe a debt of gratitude to Alice Kilgour who, in memory of her husband Joseph, donated Sunnybrook Farm and lands for use as a public park. Alice’s heirs continued her legacy of generosity, donating 400 acres of that land to build a war veterans’ hospital and in 1948, Sunnybrook Hospital opened. Today, Caryl Sinclair belongs to the hospital’s Kilgour Society, whose members continue that philanthropic tradition through estate gifts. Caryl remembers visiting her injured father at Sunnybrook, after he returned from the war. “I was awed by the large brown edifice and the wide stone staircase of what is now C-Wing. The halls seemed to stretch forever and the wards were open, with rows and rows of metal beds filled with veterans waiting for loved ones. “In the decades that followed, my mother, my father and my husband were patients at Sunnybrook. I am deeply appreciative of the care and treatment they received. Each of their lives eventually came to a close in the hospital, in an air of dignity, respect and serenity.” “When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was my turn at Sunnybrook. Over 18 months, I had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. I am deeply grateful for the professional expertise, and the careful and thoughtful planning that went into my treatment. There was such an atmosphere of inclusion, support and encouragement.” Caryl and her husband Walter named Sunnybrook in their will “as a legacy of gratitude and in support of future patients and their families.” The Kilgour Society celebrates the vision and generosity of donors who make a commitment to a legacy gift to Sunnybrook. What Matters Most As the son of a Second World War veteran who spent five years overseas and died some years later at a comparatively young age, Colin Watson says the original pull of Sunnybrook was emotional, based on its origins as a war veteran's hospital. “I had a strong attachment to veterans and all the things they did,” says Colin, who was a cadet during his school days. While CEO of Spar Aerospace in 1996, Colin agreed to sit on the Sunnybrook Foundation Board of Directors. Once he and his wife Barbara came to know Sunnybrook better, their relationship with the hospital grew, both as volunteers and donors. “We came to appreciate the fullness of what the hospital really was,” Colin says. “Our interest deepened and evolved.” The Watsons look to Sunnybrook Foundation to help them steer their gifts to areas most in need. Thus, their first major, targeted donations went to the Sunnybrook Research Institute – and with Colin’s engineering background, he believes he has a strong feel for the importance of the scientific work taking place. The couple understands intimately the importance of research and advancing treatment options. One of their daughters, though healthy today, was diagnosed with diabetes as a teenager, an area in which Barbara has volunteered extensively. Two years ago, they lost a son to a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. “Last year, we were told one of the greatest needs was a new MRI machine,” Colin says. “When in doubt, we give to the things the hospital says it needs the most.” The MRI will allow for earlier detection and treatment for thousands of patients requiring specialized care. Living near Sunnybrook, Colin says his family has had outstanding experiences both as patients and donors. “We’re at a happy confluence of satisfaction and a desire to continue being involved and doing more with Sunnybrook.” For information on leaving a gift to Sunnybrook in your will, contact [email protected] or call 416-480-6100, ext. 89328 Caryl Sinclair SUNNYBROOK NEXT GENERATION SUNNYBROOK ROSE AWARD Empower Generation They are also the latest to join the growing – and esteemed – list of Sunnybrook Rose Award recipients. The honour, fi rst awarded in 2008, celebrates individuals for their extraordinary efforts in helping Sunnybrook achieve its philanthropic objectives. Dr. Black and Derek are the 2013 honourees. “By inspiring philanthropy toward Sunnybrook, these individuals have made a big difference in our ability to care for patients,” says Dr. Barry McLellan, president and CEO of Sunnybrook. From left: Michael Kaye, Morgan Borins, Simon Leith, Anne-Marie Paquette, Blake Jespersen A record-breaking day of snowfall wasn’t enough to deter the crowd of young professionals from attending the official launch of Sunnybrook Next Generation (SNG), a new volunteer group set to use their talents and passions to help the hospital raise funds and awareness for its highest priority needs. Michael Kaye, SNG chair, represents his family’s third generation of Sunnybrook supporters. While some fellow members are descendants of Sunnybrook supporters, many are joining independently of any family history, the Toronto entrepreneur says. “We all feel a strong connection to Sunnybrook,” says Michael. “We have members who have delivered their babies here, another whose wife was treated for breast cancer. We have visited sick friends and relatives at Sunnybrook.” Many members are building careers, starting families and trying to maintain a work-life balance, Michael says, but they have made SNG a priority. “We understand the importance of the life-saving work being done at Sunnybrook and the impact we as a group can have supporting people when it matters most.” SNG has set a fundraising goal of $1 million over 10 years but Michael says they expect to surpass that as their membership is quickly growing. SNG took part in last September’s RBC Run for the Kids, with members contributing $8,000 for youth mental health navigation at Sunnybrook. The group holds its inaugural signature fundraising event in July. It starts with The Waterball Cup golf tournament at Angus Glen, followed by The Waterball party that night at Arcadian Loft. Proceeds this year will go to the Schulich Heart Centre. For more information on SNG, visit sunnybrook.ca/sng They Rose to the Challenge Sunnybrook neurologist Dr. Sandra Black and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) advocate Derek Walton have a couple of things in common – both are deeply committed individuals who are passionate about helping Sunnybrook. In addition to advancing treatments for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians affected by stroke and dementia, Dr. Black has been pivotal in helping Sunnybrook attract donor investment. She has helped raise more than $13 million in donations to Sunnybrook since 2004, aiding several areas within brain sciences research. Among them, our Brain Imaging Research Centre, which is home to a variety of brain imaging analysis and image-guided intervention research. Dr. Black was instrumental in establishing Sunnybrook as one of the three founding sites for the Heart & Stroke Foundation Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery, and most recently her work was a pivotal factor in a $10-million investment from The Slaight Family Foundation to create The Slaight Centre for Image-Guided Brain Therapy and Repair. Derek has raised awareness and money for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), a rapidly progressing neuromuscular condition that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle action. Diagnosed with the disease in 2002, Derek established the Walton Family Jumping 4 PALS (People with ALS) tandem skydiving event in 2009 – in fact, he led the charge by taking the leap. The annual event has since raised more than $267,000 for leading-edge research at Sunnybrook’s ALS/Neuromuscular Clinic. Derek has also been a champion for people living with ALS through public advocacy. The Sunnybrook Rose Award takes its name from the unique rose created for Sunnybrook by Alexandre and Jeannine Raab, long-standing Sunnybrook donors and dedicated volunteers. The award has recognized 12 exceptional individuals to date: Derek Walton Dr. Sandra Black, O.Ont.
