My name is Colter Wood. I have been a patient at the IWK for 15 years and I have undergone 3 major surgeries to date, with another impending Surgery in the near future . I suffer from a very rare disease, called Trevor’s Disease, and there is no known cure at this time. The Doctors, Nurses and all the workers are like family. I always know I am in good hands when I am there and I know they take care of my family and so many others in their time of need.
The patients and families at the IWK are brave—they are fighters—and it’s our job to help ensure they have access to world-class care when they need it most.
I've become a Warrior for the IWK so that I can stand by families that need the support of the IWK. My mom Pam Doak has been my strongest supporter. She is a realtor at Exit Realty Advantage in Fredericton NB, and has always helped me with my fundraising efforts. She will be hosting some fundraising events to be announced soon to support the IWK, and for every home she sells in 2023 a portion of her income will go to support the IWK on behalf of her clients. My mom has a big heart and is not only a smart buisness women, she is a philanthropist who works hard and cares about others.
Your donation will support the most urgent care needs at the IWK, and make a tremendous difference in the lives of Maritime patients and their families like ours.
As the Maritime region's leading health care and research centre, IWK Health cares for a population of over two million women, children, youth and families throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and provides specialized care to patients from Newfoundland. IWK Health is home to the only emergency department in the Maritimes that specializes in the care of infants, children and youth, and is the only Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center east of Quebec.
The IWK saves lives, works with Doctors world wide to help find solutions and cures for people just like me, and that makes our world a better place. They are heroes and are impacting many peoples lives everyday. The IWK is funded mainly by donors like you. Thank you for supporting me and my family in our fundraising efforts so we can continue to have the care we all deserve.
Sincerely,
Colter Wood ( Founder of Colters Cause )
