At just 13 years old, Elias has already faced more medical challenges than most people do in a lifetime. Born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome — a serious congenital heart condition where the left side of the heart is underdeveloped —
Elias spent a significant amount of his childhood in-and-out of hospitals, enduring countless surgeries, pokes, prods, and painful injections.

To help ease some of his fears, his mom Cecile would bring fun, character themed Band-Aids to the hospital, hoping to bring a smile through tough moments with the help of friendly faces from Spiderman and Star Wars.

Recognizing an unmet need, Elias had a thoughtful idea for his birthday. Instead of gifts, he asked for Band-Aid donations to bring that same joy to other kids like him.

And quickly it grew.

What started with thirty boxes quickly transformed into The Owie Project — a homegrown initiative that brings comfort and joy to children going through medical procedures, one Band-Aid at a time.

🌟 This , we invite you to read Elias’ full story and learn how he turned his challenges into a movement: https://glenrosefoundation.com/the-owie-project-elias-story/

In 2004, a snowmobile accident left Scott with serious injuries to his back, pelvis, and legs. After moving from acute care to the Glenrose’s Spinal Cord Injury Unit, Scott spent three months in intensive rehabilitation — an experience he now reflects on as some of the most meaningful days of his life.

The care and encouragement he received at the Glenrose inspired Scott to pursue a new passion of becoming an auctioneer. Just two months after being discharged, he enrolled in auctioneer school. Today, with more than twenty years of experience, Scott is an accomplished auctioneer and recently placed in the top five at the Canadian All-Around Auctioneer Championship.

Motivated by his rehabilitation journey, Scott has built a thriving career while crediting the Glenrose for the lessons and support that continue to guide his success. He now gives back as a Glenrose patient ambassador, leading our 2025 Courage Gala live auction and cycling 60km at this year’s Courage Ride — all in support of the hospital that helped him rebuild his life.

This , we celebrate Scott’s achievements and milestones, honoring his resilience and remarkable journey.

Following a stroke, Shawn arrived at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital facing the possibility that he might never walk, talk, or regain use of his arm. Just six weeks later, he walked out using only a single cane.

Shawn was one of the first participants in the Glenrose’s ballistic strength training program — a dynamic, research-based approach that uses high-intensity, real-life movements to help stroke and brain injury patients rebuild strength, confidence, and functional independence.

“Stroke is one of the worst things to experience,” says Shawn. “You lose yourself, your dignity. You need permission to drink water, to do just about anything. What ballistics means to me is being able to push myself and fight for what I want. It’s opened up a lot of doors for me to do things independently and to set goals for my life.”

Thanks to the support of donors, the Glenrose Hospital Foundation has made the specialized equipment for this program available to adult patients like Shawn.

Through your generosity, you have the power to shape the future of Albertans — not just today, but for generations to come.

Mary Jeanne Juliette “Julie” Houle experienced first-hand the compassionate care at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, and it made a lasting impression on her and her family. In gratitude, she made a legacy gift, helping ensure that future patients and families receive the same exceptional care.

“The support and care mom received was never forgotten,” says Lynn, Julie’s daughter.

Legacy giving is more than a gift — it’s a way to let your values, gratitude, and care live on. This Make a Will Month, consider how your legacy can create a lasting impact, just like Julie’s.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Courage Ride!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of riders, supporters, and donors like you, the Courage Ride has raised over half a million dollars to support innovative patient care at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.

For sixty years, the Glenrose therapeutic pool was a place of healing for patients — helping them regain mobility, confidence, and freedom. Earlier this year, the pool was permanently closed due to structural issues, leaving this vital space out of reach for patients in need.

That’s why your ride matters. Every dollar raised will help build a new therapeutic pool where patients of all ages and abilities can recover through aquatic therapy.

🤝 Join us for a 60 km ride to help us rebuild the pool at www.CourageRide.ca.

This year, every dollar raised from the Courage Ride will help bring to life a new therapeutic pool at the Glenrose, supporting healing and movement for patients of all ages through aquatic therapy.
