In October of 2016, our lives were forever changed by Chris's accident. Sadly, he could not recover from his injuries. In the midst of our grief, Chris’s legacy lived on through his decision to become an organ donor, saving the lives of two recipients with his liver, kidney, and pancreas.
In 2017, we organized our first fundraiser and pig roast to honor Chris and support The Trillium Gift of Life Network. We were overwhelmed by the support of our family and friends, and together, we raised over $30,000 in the first three years to help this life-saving foundation.
In 2022, we chose to direct our efforts to the Trauma Unit at Sunnybrook Hospital, where Chris received extraordinary care. In 2022, we raised an incredible $24,701, and in 2023, your generosity allowed us to donate $25,453 to support the Trauma Unit’s vital work.
In August 2023, we had the privilege of visiting Sunnybrook, where we met Dr. Rob Fowler, Chief of the Trauma Unit, and Nurse Charmaine, one of the incredible caregivers who tended to Chris. Our hearts were full as we presented them with the generous donation of $25,453 on behalf of everyone who contributed in loving memory of Chris.
July 2024, we raised a record high of $31,159.
As we prepare for the 2025 fundraiser on July 12th, we are reminded of the impact of your kindness. Your donations provide vital resources for patients and families facing some of the most difficult times in their lives. Your unwavering support continues to inspire us, and we are deeply grateful for the love and generosity that make this event possible.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Stan, Sherri, Trevor & Erica Conyers
