CAPHC 2011 Motivational Session - Ed’s Story: The Dragon Chronicles
Friday, August 26, 2011 at 1:08PM Over the past number of years we have had the pleasure of bringing some truly motivational sessions to our delegates. This year is no different. Ed’s Story: The Dragon Chronicles is a play that was created as a result of a journal kept by a 16 year old bone cancer patient at the IWK. This journal chronicles the last four months of Ed’s life and gives us a window into the life of a teen approaching the cusp of adulthood, who teaches us all that hope and humor are absolutely possible even in the midst of great tragedy.
Ed is a trickster, a skater, a gamer, a brother, son and friend. He’s the kid who moons the whole school on a dare and the guy who always sticks up for the underdog. Ed is a sensitive young man with an aggressive cancer. From Ed’s journal entries, and interviews with his circle of family, friends and health-care team, a “verbatim” portrait is drawn of a boy on the verge of adulthood fighting not only a medical battle, but a battle to experience his life on his terms.
After a number of successful performances, ranging from Paediatric Grand Rounds at the IWK to the Atlantic Fringe Festival, we are very excited to be bringing these talented performers to share this very special story.
This performance will be followed by a discussion with several of our IWK colleagues who were involved in this project, giving the audience an opportunity to see the impact on clinical care that this moving story has had.
