Bid in the 2026 Courage Gala Silent Auction — now open! 🎉

🎨 Feature Item: Artwork by Glenrose patient, Chelsea

This year’s silent auction features a one-of-a-kind piece by Glenrose patient, Chelsea. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at just six months old, Chelsea has spent her life building her voice using assistive technology.

Today, she’s found a new way to communicate — through art! Chelsea’s artwork, layered with poetry inspired by her journey, was created using brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. It’s a deeply personal work — and one we’re honoured to share as part of our silent auction.

Born with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, a brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen and blood flow at birth, Anna has faced more challenges in her young life than most children ever will.

At 18 months, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Over the years, she has been supported at the Glenrose through neonatal follow ups, audiology, speech therapy, physical and occupational therapy, adaptive sports, and her favourite of all — swim therapy.

In the pool, Anna found relief. The water eased her stiffness and allowed her to move more freely, practicing movements that felt impossible on land.

Looking back, her mother Jill shares, “I don’t think we would be where we are today without the Glenrose. They’ve lifted us up and given us hope all these years. They gave us our own set of milestones and stood beside us to celebrate every one.”

This March, in recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month and Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, we celebrate children like Anna whose strength inspires us all.

Through programs like the Teddy Bear Clinic at the Glenrose, children are invited into a safe, playful environment where they can learn about medical procedures with their favourite stuffed toys. By practicing activities like checking vital signs, doing blood work, and placing IVs on their teddy bears, kids become more familiar with what to expect — helping reduce fear and build confidence.

Natasha Biernes, child life specialist, shares, “In a world where there is so much done to them, medical play gives children a chance to take control. My goal is to help kids understand what will happen, empower them to be an active participant in their care and teach them the coping strategies they need to navigate medical experiences with confidence and resilience.”

Moments of preparation make a big difference for kids like Madelynn. With guidance from Child Life Specialists, the hospital becomes a place that feels a little less scary and a lot more supportive.

This Child Life Month, we celebrate their work, and with your help, we can continue creating comforting and supportive experiences for children.

Tyler Tamayose has spent much of his career working with hospitals across Alberta, helping improve the systems that support patient care and rehabilitation. Through his work in health-care strategy and planning, he has seen firsthand how the right resources and environments can make a meaningful difference in a patient’s recovery.

This year, he is bringing that passion to our biggest fundraising event, the Courage Gala presented by the Radostits Family, as Committee Chair.

Watch as Tyler shares how your ticket supports the Glenrose, and more specifically, the therapeutic pool — and why the pool plays such an important role in rehabilitation care.

“As Chair of this year’s Courage Gala, I’m proud to support an effort that ensures this unique space continues to empower recovery and restore independence,” Tyler shares. “The therapeutic pool at the Glenrose is more than a facility, it’s a place where recovery, strength, and confidence are rebuilt every day.”

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible mothers of the Glenrose.

This year’s theme, Give to Gain, reflects the many ways women show up for the people who matter most in their lives. At the Glenrose, we see this every day in the mothers who walk our halls — some supporting and advocating for their children through rehabilitation, while others are navigating their own recovery while continuing to advocate for their families.

Sarah and Jenna are two inspiring mothers whose journeys reflect the powerful role women play in the lives of those they love.

Sarah became her son Hudson’s strongest advocate after he suffered a stroke shortly after birth. Through uncertainty and years of therapy, she learned to celebrate every small victory along the way.

Jenna, a mother of four and a patient herself, continues to navigate her own rehabilitation while caring for her family. With the support of the Glenrose I CAN Centre for Assistive Technology, she found her voice through augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), strengthening her ability to advocate for herself and her children.

Their stories remind us of the many ways mothers show up for their families, and the strength women bring to those around them.

Meet Jenna.

Jenna uses an augmentative and assistive communication (AAC) device to speak. While the voice may sound a little “robotic,” as Jenna describes, the person behind it is a loving wife, proud mother of four, writer, and fierce communication advocate.

Years ago, during a physiotherapy student placement at the Glenrose, Jenna toured the I CAN Centre for Assistive Technology. She never imagined how personal that visit would one day become.

“I was voiceless,” she shares of that time.

For years, communication meant handwritten notes and careful planning. Then one day, everything changed. With the support of the I CAN Centre, Jenna found not just a device, but a system built around her life and goals.

AAC didn’t just give her a voice — it gave her access to work, advocacy, motherhood, and to fully participate in moments that matter.

In 2022, Jenna was honoured with the Foundation’s Courage Award, a fitting recognition for her extraordinary perseverance and positive outlook. Quick to share praise, she credits the I CAN Centre and its clinicians for being the reason she’s able to communicate the way she does.

“Life changing is the best way to describe it,” she says.
