The New Year always hangs heavy on my heart, on the hearts of our whole team.
We feel the profound loss our families have experienced. I cannot begin to understand the depth of their sorrow but we remember them—not just their laughter and smiles, but the joy and love they brought into this world. Their presence, though sometimes brief, has left an indelible mark on all of us. They have changed us in ways we continue to feel; they inspire us to be more compassionate, more aware, and more understanding. They inspire us to work harder and to make change.
Please know that we stand with you in your grief. We remember, we honor, and we celebrate the beautiful lives of your children. They will forever be a part of our practice, lives and our hearts. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you for all you do Wendy. Your hardwork, dedication, and love doesn’t go unnoticed. This is amazing research and the Stollery is very lucky to have you. Myself, Carley & my Mom are forever grateful for Camp Everest and all the support you have given us over the years. Thank you for sharing your story and continuing to be the amazing person you are 🤍
Love you to moon and back! We would have been lost without you Wendy when all 3 of our children were sick. You were there on our darkest days and our successes! This article hits way too close to home! Your a rock and inspiration!
If only Ayva was under 18. She battles with this daily. Well, we both do. It just heart-wrenching. Thank you for sharing your story and supporting such a fragile group. ❤️
This was touching. Wendy has always and will always be a rock for us. She was there when Noah went through his suffering and she made me feel less crazy for going through PTSD.
Our daughter’s Kirsten Kirsten Murri and Brooklin Murri definitely have some ptsd. They have been lucky to have had lots of help over the years since we lost Zachary. Thanks Wendy for creating a safe space for dialogue and acknowledging the affects it has on siblings. 💕
Wendy touched our family’s hearts when our 10 week old had neurosurgery at the stollery. I had no idea she was touched so personally by neurosurgery. ❤️ our daughter took part in this research.
