I wish I could have went to the Transplant games as a "Sick Kids" as I grew up in the Sick Kids hospital in Toronto. But when I was a child there weren't all these things or awareness. I love hearing these stories. Such an inspiration. I loved Sick Kids hospital. They did not make it feel like a hospital and even though my parents felt bad I liked going to Sick Kids. I got my first kidney transplant there

Mackenzie died? wow I'm surprised, I've seen her a month before she passed away.
Along I also got a heart transplant on June 19 2010 at Sick Kids.
