Each year at Deadlifts for Dreams, we raise money for a child in Manitoba battling a life threatening illness. This year, our efforts are supporting Dream Kid Ruby!
Three-year-old Ruby adores anything Halloween. She enjoys watching anything Halloween-related on tv, especially ‘Baby Shark Halloween’. She loves (trying!) to read - books and stuffed animals make her so happy! Some of Ruby's favourite foods are bananas, sandwiches, ham, and goldfish. Ruby also loves her two dogs at home named Bilbo and Gizmo.
But last year, Ruby was diagnosed with DS AML - Down syndrome Acute Myeloid Leukemia - in January 2023.
Luckily they caught her cancer very quick and started treatment January 20th, 2023. Chemo was tough on Ruby, but she is so resilient and still smiled 24 hours a day.
Ruby’s Dream is to go to Disney world. To Ruby, her dad, and mother, this Dream is something that they can look forward to after this storm passes.
And with your support, they will be able to go on the trip of a lifetime, together!
