My Report to Entice Donations at TGH

I was chosen to be featured in a well written report to raise donations for the University Health Network, a group of three Toronto Hospitals, one being Toronto General Hospital.
I was very happy with the report and am told it has helped with a large amount of donations. Since the LVAD is still funded through donations alone, fund-raising is very important.
I hope you like the letters below and may one day consider a donation to the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre to help save and better many lives.

More Members of the LVAD Club

It's incredible how widely know the LVAD is. I just heard that Dick Cheney, a former vice president recently had the LVAD implanted. His situation is quite different. Check out the links below.

I also found out that there were 5 in-patients in Toronto General Hospital that were implanted with the LVAD. To me, this means that these 5 lives were saved and there must be more funding to the program to make this possible. Whether it be direct donations or decisions made by staff and doctors, they should be proud that they saved another 5 lives.

If those patients have connected with my blog, I would like to say welcome to our elite club! You are very well taken care of and I wish you the best. Send me a message, I would love to connect with you.
