Chronic Illnesses

Thank you for RAISING HOPE® for children
with chronic illnesses

Your support of research on Chronic Illnesses at Children’s Health Research Institute (CHRI) is helping us find better ways to treat and care for children with epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries, cancer and other chronic illnesses and diseases.

Your support means our research can succeed.

Some of the successful achievements to date:

  • National multi-centre study of families with epilepsy  - unique in Canada, identified a variety of possibilities for family-centred interventions (Dr. Kathy Speechley).
  • Important advances in the aggressive treatment of brain swelling in children with traumatic brain injuries (Dr. Doug Fraser).
  • Critical research into how hair loss during cancer treatment can be minimized or prevented
    (Dr. Lina Dagnino).

Thanks to modern medicine, children with chronic illnesses are living longer and more independently than ever before but they face daily challenges that affect their quality of life.
