About Our Auction

I'm raising funds to help bring parents from all over Ontario together at Sick Kids on August 9th to learn from leading Williams Syndrome experts and connect with other parents. It's been almost 20 years since parents in Toronto connected this way.
My daughter Alma has Williams Syndrome. Williams syndrome is a rare genetic condition that is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning disabilities. These occur side by side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities and an affinity for music.
