  • ✨ A night to remember for Everlee! ✨

Everlee Watson, our incredible 2022 @cmncanada Champion, had the experience of a lifetime when she attended the @jonasbrothers concert in Hamilton—complete with a Meet and Greet! 🎶🤩

Everlee’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. At just four years old, she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of blood cancer. Her family’s world turned upside down as she began two and a half years of intense treatment @mcmasterchildrens. Through it all, Everlee showed incredible strength and determination, forming a special bond with her care team, who became like a second family.

Today, Everlee is thriving—cancer-free and unstoppable! She’s a black belt in karate, loves baseball, hiking, and paddleboarding, and wakes up every day ready to take on the world. 🌟

We’re so thrilled Everlee got to enjoy this magical night, celebrating her resilience and the bright future ahead. 💛
