On Monday, February 11, 2019, 532 students at École Olds Elementary School had the exciting opportunity to host the Grey Cup. Ryan Sceviour, offensive lineman for the Calgary Stampeders, and Stampeder legends Jay McNeil and Stu Laird had the Grey Cup for a few hours and used their time to make a dream come true for one of their biggest fans, Carter Thompson, a 9-year-old student who is battling stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying

Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying

Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
