2023 Volunteer of Distinction Award – Stu Rawlings Stu Rawlings had been through three years of doctor’s appointments and tests, knowing something wasn’t quite right, when he was finally diagnosed with an ependymoma brain tumour.
2023 Volunteer of Distinction Award – Mary Rawlings When Mary Rawling’s husband, Stu, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in September 2016, she jumped into caregiver mode. Living in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. at the time, Stu had been referred to London, Ont.
2023 Volunteer of Distinction Award – Stéphanie Morissette Five minutes at a time. That is how Stéphanie Morissette managed through what no parent should ever have to experience, and it’s the advice she gives to other parents navigating the same devastating path.
2023 Health Care Professional Award – Kelly Bullivant After working in the nursing field for 13 years, Kelly Bullivant decided to take the next step and train to become a nurse practitioner.
2023 David Kelly Award for Community Service – Jason Kaszycki Jason Kaszycki had just received the good news that he was going to be a father when he received the not-so-good news that he had a brain tumour.
2022 David Kelly Award – The Dunn Family Other families, unfortunately, will go through what our family has, so the more people who get involved, bringing communities and generations together, the more successful we will be with glioblastoma research.
2022 Volunteer of Distinction Award – Elizabeth Gyuk Keep your sense of humour. If you don’t have one. Get one. And in the words of my very wise Mother in Law... things could be worse.
