Breakthrough T1D (Formerly JDRF)

We're inspired by the vision of a world free of multiple sclerosis. We work with researchers, donors, partners, volunteers, and people living with MS to bring about positive change. Whether improving the lives of Canadians today or supporting high-quality research that aims to end MS tomorrow, we work together as a community. We connect the MS community to programs, information, research and to each other while they are on their MS journey.

For 37 years, Ronald McDonald House Charities Southwestern Ontario ("the Chapter") has been improving the health and wellbeing of children and their families through the creation of a home-away-from-home for families of sick children who are receiving specialized treatment at local hospitals. An essential part of the Pediatric Healthcare system -we care for the families of critically ill children so they stay close to their sick child. Established in 1985, the Chapter has experienced significant growth with the original 15-bedroom house expanding to 40 rooms in 2022, the introduction of a Family Room at London Children’s Hospital in 2012 and the opening of the first in Canada House within-a-Hospital in Windsor Regional Hospital in 2016 allowing the organization to make a significant impact on Ontario families.
