2025 CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE GRACIE!

“In April 2009, just before her second birthday, our sweet Gracie was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma and 13q deletion syndrome. She bravely faced 12 rounds of chemo and the removal of her eye—challenges most of us will never fully understand.

But Gracie’s spirit never wavered. With courage in her heart and a smile that lit up every room, she faced it all with grace and determination.

This June, she graduated from Nellie McClung Collegiate—walking that stage as the proud recipient of the Transition Scholarship from the Manitoba Council for Exceptional Children, along with a school award honouring her kindness and strength.

To say we’re proud doesn’t come close. Gracie, you’ve grown into an extraordinary young woman. The world is better with your heart in it, and we can’t wait to see where life takes you next.“

Way to go, Gracie! You’ve overcome so much with courage and grace, and this achievement is a true reflection of the amazing person you are. We’re cheering you on as you step into this exciting new chapter!❤️🎗️
