Give Today Ways To Give Meet The Kids Partner Profiles Impact Report Our Board Contact Us < Back BILLIE & LACEY 2023 Lansdowne Charity Motorcycle Ride Ambassadors Hello, my name is Billie MacDonald. My sister Lacey and I are the MacMoore Sisters, known for our fundraising at the Lansdowne Charity Motorcycle Ride. I was born with a Brachial Plexus injury in my right arm. It was a challenging time as no one could really explain it to my mum and dad why my arm looked different. When I was one month old I was taken for a visit to Lansdowne Children’s Centre. My sister Lacey had been there the year before to make sure she was ready for school and she was excited for me to see it. We spent some time visiting with Heather and Ashley in the Physio and Occupational Therapy departments and they became my second family. At Lansdowne I have taken part in the Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Recreation programs and so much more. It is my second home. I have been diagnosed with both Brachial Plexus and Acquired Brain Injury with the help of Lansdowne. Throughout the years Lansdowne has helped me with getting everything I need to help me learn better in school, and helping my family get me a mobility device to help me explore the world even when I am having a bad day and couldn’t walk. Every year we look forward to the Christmas Party to get us out and to get to see Santa. It is one of the best family days! Each year we looked forward to going to Lansdowne Children’s Centre events because we got to be with a lot of the people who I know. Thank you for caring to read my letter. Please help support Lansdowne Children's Centre Foundation by riding on July 8, or by making a donation to our team or any of the other riders and teams. We are so thankful for all the Lansdowne has done for our family, and other families. We fundraise each year to help make sure other kids and families get a chance to get the help we have had. The children and families of Lansdowne thank you for your support. Dontate Today Contact Us

Give Today Ways To Give Meet The Kids Partner Profiles Impact Report Our Board Contact Us < Back ISAIAS & GABE Isaias is a newly 16-year-old young man. He is currently experiencing his second year of high school and is super creative and talented. His goal is to be a game designer when he grows up. He also loves to try out voice impersonations. He is a sponge and loves to learn, is compassionate, loving, caring, and funny. He is eager to help those around him. Many of Isaias's success can be attributed to the years of time spent with Lansdowne Children's Centre. Gabriel is currently 13 years old (going on 14 this summer). He is preparing for grade 9 this coming September. Gabriel, much like his brother is a sponge and enjoys learning. Constantly pushing himself to meet goals. His dream is to become a paleontologist. Gabriel is outgoing, funny, caring and loving. Like his brother Isaias, Lansdowne has been a huge puzzle piece in propelling Gabriel forward to the success he is today! Isaias and Gabriel are not only brothers but best friends. Isaias is full of facts and can grab your attention in an instant to teach you all about something. He has mad dance skills and is just as talented at yoga! Gabriel is very thoughtful and it shows in everything he does from a kind word to a creative project. He loves dinosaurs and it would be impossible to stump him on any dinosaur-related information! The care and support they show each other is heartwarming and they will offer that same support to their peers. Gabriel is always there to give a friend an uplifting compliment during a creative project and Isaias can always recognize when someone is feeling down and needs a friend. “The Brothers” can always be relied on to bring their contagious enthusiasm to any activity or event! The children and families of Lansdowne thank you for your support. Dontate Today Contact Us
