MEET JAX, her parents wanted a strong name for their daughter and she’s a real fighter.

Jax was born with a condition called ‘supraventricular tachycardia which effects her heart rhythm as well as her heart rate……irregularly fast and erratic that impacts the heart’ upper chambers.

Since birth Jax has frequently gone into episodes that spike her heart rate as high as 320 beats per minute which requires immediate hospitalization and for her to be medically cardioverted to reset her heart to a normal rhythm

Jax’s parents spent the first six months of her life in hospital.  Due to Jax’s (SVT) everyone at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital knows her and is prepared for any emergency…….she is known as a ‘frequent flyer’ amongst the staff.

The first time Jax was rushed to CGMH, the team found the right IV site, administered her meds and reset her heart rate all within 40 minutes (vs a typical timeline of 3 hrs)…..and that’s why the Davenports now live in Collingwood. Jax is a real warrior.

MEET ALMA, as a baby, she was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome—a developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body and causes intellectual disability. There are no words to describe how her parents felt to discover that their child’s health, cognition, and development would be affected for the rest of her life.

Alma joined Special Olympics when she was only two. The Active Start program has helped her develop her fine and gross motor skills, make new friends, and experience all the benefits that sport can bring. At Active Start, there are no timelines put on a child’s development. No one complains that a child is holding the others back. Instead, every parent and volunteer cheers on every child, creating a place where everyone truly belongs.

When Alma started with Special Olympics, she was still using a walker to get around. One day she left the walker behind and ran across the gym to chase after a ball. Everyone in the room stopped and watched her do it, and afterwards, erupted in applause. It was such an incredible moment.
