“On the sixth day of giving, my law firm gave to me, a chance to help the children.”
For our sixth day of giving, we will be donating to sick kids on behalf of our law student, warren gilmore.
In March of 1875, Elizabeth McMaster and a group of women rented a 11-room house in downtown Toronto and declared it a hospital “for the admission and treatment of all sick children.” On April 3, Maggie, a three-year-old scald victim, became SickKids’ first patient.
Since then, SickKids has led in child health and research innovation in Canada.
