I had a chance to talk with Keira Davlut, who at just two weeks old was diagnosed with Craniosynostosis, a condition where the plates of the skull fuse prematurely, meaning the brain does not have enough space to fully develop. If not treated early, it can lead to eye, ear and breathing complications. Keira’s relationship with the HSC Children’s hospital started when she was just nine months old and she continued to visit the hospital until she was eight.
In 2022, Keira was Manitoba’s Champion Child and as an ambassador for kids like herself, she surpassed her goal of $10,000 and raised over $17,000 to support sick and injured kids! Keira spent the year fundraising and advocating for the unique needs of other children across Manitoba by sharing her story. During her time in the role, Kiera represented roughly 130,000 children in Manitoba who are in need of local children’s hospitals. AMAZING! Way to go, Keira!
