Transformational Support for Kids with Arthritis

Injection Support + Ultrasound Probes

In a world where children battling juvenile arthritis face daily challenges, the Allardyce Bower Foundation has stepped up to be a true champion for kids! The Foundation’s gift of $28,675 in capital funding marks a monumental step towards realizing a pain-free future for these courageous young individuals and their families, especially when it comes to the difficult and often painful treatments they must face.

Thanks to the Foundation’s support, we were able to launch our innovative Injection Support Program in both Victoria, BC and across Alberta to provide invaluable resources and guidance to children and families navigating the complexities of juvenile arthritis treatment. Moreover, our free Injection Support Kits ensure that every child has access to the tools they need to manage their condition with confidence and ease.

Furthermore, the Foundation’s generosity also helped us enhance the diagnostic capabilities at the pediatric rheumatology clinic of Alberta Children’s Hospital. The purchase of two ultrasound probes represents a significant investment in improving patient care and outcomes, enabling healthcare professionals to conduct precise and non-invasive assessments, leading to earlier diagnoses and more effective treatment plans.

The Allardyce Bower Foundation’s unwavering dedication to supporting pediatric rheumatology initiatives has left an indelible mark on the lives of countless children and families affected by juvenile arthritis. Your generosity serves as a testament to the power of philanthropy in driving meaningful change for vulnerable kids and families – thank you!
