A heartwarming gesture of generosity from Burlington author Chris Milligan

We were recently contacted by Lorianne Ledwez, Administrator at Creek Way Village, who informed us that local author Chris Milligan has graciously offered to donate a portion of the proceeds from his new book to our Foundation.

The novel is a labour of love in honour of his wife, Mary, a Creek Way resident. It was her original idea, and challenge to Chris. Sadly, over the past decade, Mary has been living with Vascular Dementia and is no longer able to read the book that was lovingly written for her.

In celebration of his 80th birthday and nearly six decades of marriage, Chris is generously donating a share of his book’s proceeds equally between the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation and Creek Way Village Long-Term Care Facility (The Willow Foundation)—two institutions in Burlington, Ontario, that have played a meaningful role in his and Mary’s journey.

As Chris beautifully puts it, "The dedicated love and care these two local institutions demonstrate daily towards all their patients is truly marvellous."

We are deeply grateful to Chris for his thoughtfulness and generosity. We wish him every success with this meaningful book and thank him for including The Willow Foundation in such a special tribute.
