Its a good thing I have so many brothers and a sister!

Because it looks like I am going to be FAMOUS - and I'm going to need them to help me sign my autograph - at least until I learn to do it for myself!

Just a few days after the launch of "Livee's Loonies" and my project is growing so fast!

Here is the article written about me in our local newspaper.

"Local Couple Launches "Loonies for Livee" CHEO Fundraiser"

Carol and Leonard Seguin have spent the best part of the last couple of weeks at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario with their daughter, Olivia.

"Livee" as she is fondly called by her family, is no stranger to the institution. She spent the first two months of her life at CHEO undergoing a battery of tests and treatments. She has had several surgeries on her lungs and faces more in the future.

Though she will be just three years old this July, she has had 11 bouts of pneumonia, and for each she has been hospitalized. Already she has suffered more medical emergencies than many of us will face throughout the whole of our lives.

On the plus side, wee Livee has a network of adoring fans. Not only do her parents and six siblings worry about her health and cheer her every recovery, but she is a member of a very large extended family. Her parents have been overwhelmed by the support they have received from the community.

Furthermore, the staff at CHEO treats Livee like visiting royalty when she arrives there, knowing not only her name, but also the names of all her brothers and sister. Carol and Leonard are profoundly grateful to these devoted professionals for their expertise and their devotion to their young charges.

To express their gratitude concretely, the couple has decided to spearhead a fundraising initiative to benefit the hospital, calling it "Livee's Loonies for CHEO."

The Seguins have enlisted the help of their friends, Betsy and Wayne Lapierre, whose nine-year-old daughter, Paige, has also undergone several surgeries at CHEO. The families are placing coin boxes at local shops throughout the area and are asking members of their community to donate their spare change in the boxes.

All proceeds will be presented to the hospital at its yearly fundraising telethon on the first weekend of June.

The Seguins and the Lapierres know what a difference a world-class hospital can make in the life of a family. Their efforts will help CHEO help children like Livee and Paige - and who knows? Maybe someday your child or mine - in their fight for life.
