Brighter Future for Ken Ho & Family
Donation protected
Ken Ho, loving son, brother, husband and new father suffered a fall on February 2nd, 2018 after losing mobility in his legs and was admitted to Foothills Hospital. Following weeks of scans and tests, doctors diagnosed Ken with an aggressive form of Ewing Sarcoma - a type of cancer typically found in adolescents.
During his stay at Foothills Hospital, Ken was wheeled to the delivery room to be by his wife Julienne’s side for the birth of their first child, Valentina Ho on February 28th, 2018.
Subsequently, after multiple rounds of chemo and radiation doctors deemed Ken's immune system too compromised for continued treatment and he was transferred to Agape Hospice on April 14th, 2018 where he currently resides with Stage 4 cancer.
