Vote to renovate the Starlight Room at SickKids!

My sister asked me to spread the word about this great initiative (via the pepsi refresh project) to improve the Starlight Room at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Here's some background from the Starlight Foundation on the space and what it needs:

In the fall on 1998 The Starlight Children's Foundation built a special place in SickKids hospital for patients to use as an escape from treatments and appointments. In this room they were able to just be a kid; leaving behind some worry and fear through crafts, video games, and play. In the past 12 years the needs of the hospital have changed, and Starlight recognizes the need to update this space and accomodate those needs. We are looking for a grant to make this important space better. We want to open it up so it is easier for patients with wheelchairs or IV poles to navigate through the room. We want to add a toddler play space to accomodate an influx of patients 0-3. We want to update the magic in this room. We want a lot for this room because we know these patients deserve this space.

My niece Ray spent a lot of time in this playroom when she was battling leukemia. She's come a long way since then, but she will be the first one to tell you that other kids like her really need it.
