This June, many Maritimers will feel the loss of a tradition that is beloved throughout the regions—the IWK Telethon for Kids on CTV. Due to concerns with COVID-19 and risks to the safety of all involved with holding the Telethon, we announced the difficult decision to cancel the event.

But despite these uncertain times, Maritime kids continue to be sick.

Their symptoms and illnesses need diagnosing. They need urgent critical care.

When the youth and kids get care and treatment at the IWK, they also get hope. That hopes comes from their family, friends, care teams, and you, the donors.

The kids at the IWK still need you. That will never change.
