Why we ride
A Worthy Cause
Children’s Health Foundation believes that children and their families in Western Ontario deserve the best possible care and the most possible hope when faced with a serious health issue.
That is why we are calling on caring people to help strengthen and transform the health care experience in our region. Your generosity will fund cutting-edge equipment, care-enhancing programs and ground-breaking paediatric research at Children’s Hospital in London, TVCC and Children’s Health Research Institute.
You can ensure better childhoods for kids facing challenges and serious health issues and hope, relief and support for those who love them.
The best care for children who are ill, close to home – that is the thought that launched the legacy of Children’s Health Foundation.
Established in 1922, Children’s Health Foundation impacts more than 66,000 children each year, across Western Ontario, from Windsor to London and Kitchener-Waterloo, and up north to Thunder Bay and beyond.
Our Foundation is proud to create lasting change through support of three outstanding partners in health care: Children’s Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre, TVCC and Children’s Health Research Institute.
Hand-in-hand with our donors, we are strengthening and transforming paediatric health care for London and our region. Because every child deserves the best chance to overcome sickness and discover what they’re uniquely capable of achieving.
We all want our loved ones to thrive. That’s why your support of Children’s Health Foundation is so important.
