How wonderful to see magic making such a big difference in these patient's lives! Well done Julie, keep up the great work!

Sharing Wonder:
For the past few weeks, lead by magicienne Julie Eng, we made one of
our favourite stops to Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab to bring some magic
to the Helping Hands program.
Helping Hands is a modified constraint induced movement
therapy (CIMT) for clients with hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the
