Making children proud of their battle.
Changing the game for children’s medical equipment.
When Mason’s disease became terminal, Iain & Chantelle decided to bring him home on palliative care away from hospital for his last days. With that, he required a lot of medical equipment. When the required medical equipment arrived at their home, Mason looked at his parents and asked, “I thought I never had to go back to the hospital?”
The once warm loving safe haven Mason knew as his home, turned into a cold medical hospital complete with a bed, oxygen and IV pole just to name a few. He didn’t want to go near the hospital bed and hated having an IV pole near him. Chantelle thought to herself “Why does Mason have to be afraid of his IV pole?” “Why does the IV pole have to look like that? Why can’t the medical equipment be colourful?
That thought was carried over after Mason passed away and his parents vowed to make children proud of their fight.
