Welcome to the Moving for Myles Yoga Fundraiser, 

In honour of our son Myles, we are raising money in support of the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation. Join us on August 15th, at 2:30pm at Idolem Kirkland for a special one-hour yoga class dedicated with love to Myles. It will be held in a warm room and guided by two amazing yoga teachers. 

Myles was born on June 13, 2022 with a complex congenital heart defect. Soon after he was born he was transferred to the NICU where his medical team worked to build a plan to repair his heart. On June 23rd, at 10 days old, Myles underwent a 16-hour open-heart surgery. The surgeons were able to repair his heart but it was an enormous undertaking for such a small baby. Afterwards, his heart wouldn’t beat on its own and he was placed on an ECMO machine in the hope his heart would regain the strength it needed for him to come home. Despite everything his medical team did, and everything we hoped and prayed for, we did not get the happy ending we wished for. We were never able to bring our beautiful boy home.
Losing Myles left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. In his memory, we want to honour his life by helping other children and families who are facing unimaginable challenges of their own. We will always be grateful for the exceptional care, compassion and support that Myles received during our time at the Montreal Children’s Hospital. 

Through this fundraiser we hope to give back and make a difference for other families. The funds we raise will: 

• Support medical research for the next scientific breakthrough;
• Purchase specialized medical equipment suitable for children of all ages;
• Help families in financial need following the hospitalization of their child.
