I have this friend, someone I feel very lucky to have met. She’s one of those people who, when you look at her, you see the goodness radiating from her entire being. She is filled with love, laughter, kindness, empathy and strength. On March 20, 2011 my friend Heather lost her miracle son Zackie. I urge you to take a moment to read their story here:

Heather and her family are simply incredible. I had the great honour to have met Zackie and can tell you that he was blessed with his Mom’s great spirit and light. His eyes were filled with mischief and joy, with a huge smile that matched. In his short life he touched more hearts than most do in 100 years.

Sick Kids hospital cared for Zack and is a place of great importance. They do incredible research and work for children around the world. As you may know, we also raise money for the Sick Kids Foundation through my company, Clippo. Right now, I’m asking you if you do want to donate to Sick Kids, to do so in Zackie’s memory. The link to his personal page is below, and as you can see, though the Hamilton family chose $5000 as a goal, this little boy was so loved they have surpassed that already. The money goes towards important research, facilities and care for a world of childhood health needs.

Here is their personal page:

Along with some of Heather’s close friends, I’m also collecting donations for something special for their family, so if you happen to be interested in contributing to that, please email me at info(at)clippo(dot)ca.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for sparing a thought for their family & Zackie.
