ANITA'S STORY

Life is unpredictable and Anita’s life was no exception. Born and raised in Windsor, she married her best friend Sergio and started a family beginning with their first-born daughter. Life was great and so fulfilled when they welcomed their second child, a son, Michael! This had all the makings of a perfect family and what everyone strives for.

Shortly after Michael’s birth, illness and pain were his constant companion. This went on for months with doctors not knowing what was happening until they ventured over to the Children’s Hospital in Michigan. Their entire world changed when they discovered that Michael had cancer and would need to have further tests. Shortly thereafter, Michael was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. They spent months in intensive care and unfortunately, Anita’s little boy, Michael, passed away at 1-year-old.

Born from this immense pain, was the need to help and make a difference in the lives of others in our community throughout their healthcare journey.

In Honour of the Ones We Love exists because of Michael. He showed us that together we could make a difference!

In Honour of the Ones We Love along with Courage, Kindness and Love can overcome any challenge.
