THETHE CANADIANCANADIAN FORCESFORCES SNOWBIRDSSNOWBIRDS AMBASSADORS FOR THE CH.I.L.D. FOUNDATION

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are Ambassadors for the CH.I.L.D. Foundation, the only charity in Canada so designated. On August 5, 2014 the Snowbirds 431 Air Demonstration Squadron met children with Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and liver disorders at Landmark Aviation at Vancouver International Airport. The pilots answered a myriad of questions from the children…“do your wings ever touch?” (No!)…“are there any girl pilots?” (Yes!)…“do rockets make the smoke from the jets and where are the rockets?” (No, no rockets! Paint is put in the exhaust to make the smoke!) Each year in a different city of British Columbia, “Snowbirds Fly for CH.I.L.D.” takes place, thrilling thousands with a spectacular aerial demonstration, which took place in White Rock this year on the evening of August 6th. For the past 11 years, the CH.I.L.D. Foundation invites children and their families from the hosting community for a luncheon and to meet with the Snowbirds Pilots. It is the absolute highlight of the summer! The children are able to scramble among the jets, take photos with the pilots, and bring home autographed t-shirts and memorabilia from their experience. The CH.I.L.D. Foundation is very grateful for the support of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, Bombardier Inc., the Province of British Columbia, Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Coralee Oakes, Minister and CH.I.L.D.

An important discovery about how our gut protects our bodies from dangerous infections may help scientists understand the causes of inflammatory bowel disease. “We know that every food-borne bacterial pathogen that we encounter tries to infect the cells that line CH.I.L.D. Foundation the gut, but until now it wasn’t clear how these cells defended against infection,” says Dr. Bruce Vallance, the senior and co-corresponding funds crucial equipment for author on the study recently published in the journal Cell Host and ground-breaking research.

Previously, scientists thought that the cells respond to bacteria and other intestinal lining the gut weren’t able to make inflammasomes because these challenges, in order to better define why these cells don’t produce a protein called caspase 1. Scientists believed patients have IBD,” says Dr. Vallance. “We caspase 1 was a necessary component of inflammasomes because hypothesize that the gut balls grown from IBD all known inflammasomes used capase 1 as a building block. In patients will be leakier than those coming from collaboration with U.S. colleagues, Dr. Vallance’s team discovered non-IBD patients. They may also show that the cells lining the gut do in fact make inflammasomes. Instead exaggerated inflammatory responses to of caspase 1, inflammasomes in the human gut are made up of bacteria or food particles. These results will help another protein called caspase 4.

4 SNOWBIRDS LIFT SPIRITS WITH PERFORMANCE Reprinted in part with kind permission from Peace Arch News

As the City of White Rock prepared to welcome the Canadian Snowbirds aerobatic team, Eric shared his story about living with Crohn’s disease to Peace Arch News Staff Reporter Sarah Massah. The performance over Semiahmoo Bay on Wednesday, August 6, 2014 was aimed at increasing awareness of the CH.I.L.D. Foundation, which strives to find a cure for inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis. It’s not a romantic illness. Eric was 13 when he was first diagnosed with Crohn’s, which can affect any part of the They don’t make gastrointestinal tract. Now 21, Eric is encouraging others with the diagnosis to search for ways to manage the disease. “Most people don’t know what it is. It’s not a romantic illness. movies about Crohn’s. They don’t make movies about Crohn’s,” he said. “What I would really like people to do who have the illness is to take control back. They have more power over their health than they think they do.” While Eric currently keeps his Crohn’s under control – for the most part – with a proper diet, usually, the first step for doctors is to prescribe medication. “For the first five years at Children’s Hospital, I was given all kinds of medication,” he said. “None of them ever did anything. At one point, they called in my parents because they thought they weren’t giving the pills to me. They didn’t think it was possible for me to be immune to all of them.” Soon after, Eric began looking at his diet and cutting out foods that cause flare ups. “That’s been my real life saver, it’s been the one thing that’s kept me going,” he said, noting he had been told in the past by a dietician that diet didn’t affect Crohn’s. “What I want people to know– and this is not me saying that doctors are evil or want to hurt you – but I feel too many people that go to the doctors with Crohn’s or something more drastic than a broken bone, they want to put it all on the doctor. “But what I want people to know is that if you don’t take responsibility for your health, you’ll never know.” And while Eric admitted living with Crohn’s has been a difficult journey, he said the most useful – and hardest – lesson has been learning how to be happy in a terrible situation. Even with medication and the right diet, the disease can flare up, he said. “You feel like crap… Everything falls apart. But you need to learn how to be happy despite that,” he said. “I wouldn’t have been here without people who love and support me. It’s cliché, but it’s cliché because it’s the truth. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for them.”

On August 6, 2014, Major Patrick Gobeil, Snowbird 1, Team Lead, and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds Team presented CH.I.L.D. Foundation Chairman of the Board Grace McCarthy, O.C., O.B.C. with the second Canadian flag ever given from the team. This Canadian Flag was flown by 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds of the Royal Canadian Air Force, over Parliament Hill during Canada Day festivities on July 1, 2014 and is signed by all the pilots.
