I have been inspired to initiate this Go Fund Me page by a beautiful young student that I have had the pleasure of working with for the past three years. Ceilidh has Ewing's Sarcoma which is a type of bone cancer that isn't commonly found in kids. She was first diagnosed in February 2018, when she was 10 years old. The cancer was in her left tibia. She went through an intensive chemo regimen and an 18 hour surgery, where they removed her tibia and replaced it with her fibula from her other leg as well as adding additional hardware to make the bone stronger and hold it in place. After this, she was required to go through rehabilitation so that she could learn to walk again. She was Cancer Free for 2 years and when she had her routine check-up in January, they found some dark spots throughout her whole skeleton. On February 8, 2021, she relapsed and this time the cancer is inoperable and incurable. 


Ceilidh is a very kind and strong girl who has overcome more in her 13 years that many will have to endure in their lifetime. She loves art, drawing and anime as well as sports, especially volleyball and basketball. Ceilidh always looks for the good side of life and she possesses an extremely positive attitude. 


Ceilidh is a fighter, and the family is determined to do all that they can to assist her in this battle. She is currently undergoing a chemo routine to slow the progression of the cancer down or ideally, to put it into remission. The primary goal is to give Ceilidh a better quality of life!


Unfortunately, the family faces further challenges, as Ceilidh's father is on kidney dialysis and needs to be taken to the hospital three times a week for treatment. The devastating news regarding Ceilidh's cancer returning, in addition to the major health crisis that her father Chris has been facing, is beyond what any family should have to endure. Ceilidh's mom Lisa has an extremely hectic life trying to run back and forth to Sick Kids for appointments while juggling drives for dialysis, as well as providing support and care for Ceilidh, her husband, and the rest of her family. She is unable to work due to her family's needs, so the family faces financial challenges. The goal of this fundraiser is to help improve Ceilidh's quality of life. The goal is to raise enough money to allow the family to spend quality time together while caring for Ceilidh without having to worry about any added financial burdens. Any effort that you can make to help this wonderful and inspiring young girl, Ceilidh, and her family would be greatly appreciated.
