Help Kathleen Beat Her Brain Tumor

Dear colleagues, friends, and kind-hearted individuals,

We are reaching out to you today to share the story of Kathleen Firth, a remarkable Nurse Practitioner for Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery at the Stollery Children's Hospital. Kathleen has dedicated over 50 years of her life to caring for sick children, both within the walls of the Stollery Children's Hospital and in underserved communities across the globe. Now, it is our turn to come together and support Kathleen as she faces her own health battle.

Many of you may already know that Kathleen is a fighter. She has bravely overcome bowel cancer, demonstrating her resilience and unwavering determination. However, we are devastated to share that Kathleen has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. This news has shaken our world, and she faces the urgent need for surgery to begin her long road to recovery.

Throughout her career, Kathleen has been an invaluable member of the healthcare community. Her compassionate and selfless nature has touched countless lives, bringing hope and healing to sick children and their families. Not only has she dedicated her expertise to the Stollery Children's Hospital, but she has also extended her care to underserved children in third-world countries, leaving an indelible impact on global pediatric healthcare.

Today, we invite you to join us in supporting Kathleen on her journey to healing. The financial burden associated with a costly recovery can be overwhelming, and we believe that by coming together, we can alleviate some of this stress. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in Kathleen's life, allowing her to focus on her recovery and regain her strength.

Kathleen has given her all to the children's healthcare community, never asking for anything in return. Now, it is our opportunity to show our gratitude and stand by her side during this challenging time. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and provide the support she needs to navigate the road ahead.

Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser with your networks. Your generosity will not only help Kathleen, but it will also serve as a testament to the power of community and the love we have for someone who has dedicated her life to caring for others.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and unwavering support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Friends of Kathleen Firth
