This year the Gala takes place at the Toronto Events Centre on Friday, June 19th. The theme of this year’s Gala is the Olympic Games. The event is attended by numerous sports stars past and present as well as prominent sports media personalities and other celebs. With the Olympic theme there will be several past Olympic medalists in attendance as well as Olympic-themed décor and activations. All net proceeds go to Dr. Seeds research project on congenital heart disease at the Hospital for Sick Children and the event promises to be one of the most high profile Toronto galas of 2020.
USE OF FUNDS
It has long been known that children undergoing surgery as newborns for congenital heart disease (CHD) are at significant risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Dr. Mike Seed, Head of Cardiology at SickKids, believes the root for neurological deficiency in children with congenital heart disease develops in the prenatal period, as they are not receiving enough oxygen to the brain, while in the womb, due to a malformed heart. Research by Dr. Seed’s team found that this damage starts in the womb, a discovery that put into motion the idea to study whether regular supplemental oxygen therapy for pregnant women improves brain development in fetuses diagnosed with congenital heart disease. In other words, will giving pregnant moms high doses of oxygen improve blood flow to their babies’ brains and improve neurodevelopment?
Dr. Seed and the team have completed the first observational/imaging phase of the study and have now begun the interventional phase—administering the oxygen treatment to 15 patients, and counting. Though it’s too early to know definitively whether the treatment works, initial neonatal brain scan results are promising. These early results were presented at the 8th Annual Scientific Sessions of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Collaborative meeting in Toronto this past October.
*All funds raised by the All-Star Gala for this project will be matched in full by a prestigious Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) grant from the Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR).
