“My daughter has a very severe case of Hydrocephalus and she has had 4 brain surgeries at the Stollery children’s hospital. I’d like to thank you guys again for supporting the NKF. You truly are helping change the lives of many children in the hospital and it means so much to me that you guys support NKF. The NKF has changed our lives. Not just my daughter Anneliese’s but my life. They have helped my mind body and soul during this journey which wouldn’t be possible without support like the golf tournament. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
