WE ARE LEGENDS

SUPPORTING TOMORROW’S HEALTH CARE WITH A LEGENDARY COMMITMENT

$2.05 MILLION

received from gifts in wills

What if you could transform health care for generations to come? What if your legacy, or legend, was the lives saved and the healthcare advances made possible for those who follow? A gift in your will — even as little as one per cent — to the QEII Foundation is one way to do that.

We all need health care and it’s important to give back. A gift in my will just made sense.

– Sherry Richardson

Sherry Richardson is a legend. She obtained her recreational pilot’s license at the age of 74 and her private pilot license at age 78, shortly after retiring from her 45-year military career that spanned the Navy, Army, and Intelligence. Now 86-years-young, on clear days, you’ll find Sherry cruising with the top down in her red convertible or 2,000 ft in the air piloting a solo flight to the Cape Breton Highlands or Summerside, PEI.

A lung cancer survivor, the pilot is a longtime QEII Foundation donor – inspired by her QEII thoracic surgeon, Dr. Harry Henteleff. By arranging a charitable gift in her will, Sherry joins a community of other QEII Legends who are impacting care for future generations.
