Here, Gabrielle's family members, from left Dustin Ide, Karen Ide, Sophie Ide Cinanni, Nikki Ide, and Bennett Ide Cinanni. Gabrielle's mom, Nikki Ide, created the 100-kilometre cycling event, which last year raised more than $75,000 for Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). This year it will support a pediatric cardioembolic fellowship at SickKids.

She was only three weeks old when Lexie suddenly stopped breathing in my arms. Within seconds, my beautiful, healthy baby turned blue and I was frantic. Once she was in the emergency department, the doctors and nurses took over and diagnosed Lexie with a respiratory virus. She was in the hospital for a week with monitors and oxygen devices helping her breathe, but today she is a healthy and proud big sister to her brother Liam thanks to the life-saving equipment in our hospital. Each and every year, our hospital needs hundreds of pieces of new equipment that will improve the lives of all of us here in Oakville. Every piece is critical and every piece needs to be funded by our community. It all starts here with your help. Please give generously. OakvilleHospitalFoundation.com Please call 905 338 4642 to make a difference by donating to the Oakville Hospital Foundation. Charitable Registration #: 13145-3490 RR0001 The Oakville Hospital Foundation is grateful for the generous support of our media sponsor, the Oakville Beaver.
