Today marks the start of #ChildhoodCancerAwareness month. It is also the day four years ago our sweet Ev was diagnosed with cancer. We have lived 2.5 years without her now due to this horrific disease. You can #gogold this month by sharing Ev’s story. Talk about #ChildhoodCancer

This little human was off to her first day of Grade 5 today. I am so proud of the person she is becoming. While we celebrate this milestone for one we also mourn the loss Ev and the fact that she doesn’t get a back to school photo because of cancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

God speed to my family today as I woke up with some serious ADHD hyper-focus and began a mission of cleaning the house. Tasks have been assigned. My people are moving at a frenzied pace. I’m on Twitter.

Over the years 100s of drugs for adult cancer have received FDA approval. Of those 100s only 34 have received approval for children. Only 4 of those were specifically designed for children. Our kids deserve more. #morethan4 #ccam #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

Evelyn lived for 4952 days. The average person gets 27,375. Cancer stole 22,400 days. This remarkably wise, funny, kind, freckle faced human should still be here. This is why our kids need more than 4% of our governments cancer research dollars. #childhoodcancerawarenessmonth

So let me get this straight. The new leader of Canada's Conservative Party wanted to "Let Canadians smile at each other again." But still...his party voted to deny dental care to children from low-income families?…Don't their smiles matter?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that immediately following #NationalDaughtersDay and #nationalsonsday it is #NationalCoffeeDay

It is a privilege to hold my child and raise her in our culture and personal belief systems. Today, and everyday, i am remembering those who did not get that privilege. #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

The fact that Alberta has a fiscal surplus but their are trailers outside the Children’s Hospital to manage patient load tells us a lot about how low health care is prioritized by the UCP government. #abpoli #albertahealthcare

How can we have a fiscal surplus in our province and at the same time close a pediatric hospice? This is heartbreaking. And further proof that our health care system is in shambles. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… #abpoli
