MADDY'S GALA

We wanted to dedicate part of "our new life" to Roger's House. It was six short weeks after Maddy passed away that "Maddy's Superheroes" was born! The largest team at that time to register for the Roger's House Walk, Roll & Run event and we raised close to $26,000 in honour of our Maddy! This achievement made us feel like we had a purpose again and we could do more. A simple idea over a glass of wine - a gala in Maddy's honour. There was a small and intimate evening on February 1st, 2008 that raised almost $10,000. Feeling rejuvenated we decided this should be an Annual event, so Maddy's Gala was born, and it continues year after year to exceed the success of the previous year!... Our lives changed forever in that moment. How could this be possible? Had they made a mistake? We were forced into decisions that no parent should ever have to make. Would we like to donate Maddy's organs? Do we want to put her on life support? Would we like to take her to Roger's House? We had no idea what..
