Michaela Ironside was born with a rare condition that made one of her legs shorter than the other. By the time she was 12, in 2014, her left leg was 7cm shorter than her right. Michaela underwent a pioneering limb-lengthening procedure at BC Children’s Hospital. Thanks to this treatment, her legs are now the same length, and Michaela is happily leading a normal teenager’s life. In gratitude for her daughter’s transformation, Michaela’s mother Joanne has arranged a gift in her Will to support the Orthopedics department at BC Children’s Hospital. Joanne’s legacy gift will make transformations like Michaela’s possible for future generations of children. www.bcchf.ca/legacy
