Cohen and his little brother Nash love playing sports and wrestling. Both were born with congenital heart defects and as tiny newborns fought hard to survive.

Kherington

Claire
To her family, Claire is unstoppable. She has cerebral palsy and while she is unable to move on her own or speak, innovative, donor-funded technology called Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is helping her use her mind to do things her body cannot. When she’s not making milkshakes or playing games using BCI, or also communicating through eye gaze technology, you can find her on her Trexo Robotics walker, which helped her walk down the aisle as a flower girl. She’s recently started her own business selling products she made using BCI!AB Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation
