From cancer clinic to centre ice with the Vancouver Canucks, Salmon ArmB次元官网网址檚 Jane Scranton has come a long way.

Jane, 12, was invited to participate in the NHLB次元官网网址檚 25th annual Hockey Fights Cancer event in Vancouver on Nov. 28. There Jane will get to join the Canucks on the ice for their pre-game warm up, then join them on the blue line for the national anthem before hitting the stands to watch them face off against the Anaheim Ducks.

Jane was diagnosed with leukemia at age 5, and has since beaten it.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will let the young hockey enthusiast, who plays for the U13 Female Silverhawks Rec team, share the ice with her favourite Canucks B次元官网网址� former Silverbacks player Akito Hirose, and Quinn Hughes B次元官网网址� who both play defence like she does.

Helping to make this experience possible was her oncology nurse from the B.C. ChildrenB次元官网网址檚 Hospital (BCCH) B次元官网网址� where Jane underwent over two-and-a-half years of treatment B次元官网网址� who submitted her name for consideration. This is just the latest way in which Jane, who has been cancer-free since she finished treatment in 2019, is B次元官网网址渓iving life to the fullest.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淪heB次元官网网址檚 got a great outlook,B次元官网网址� said her mom Kim, recalling a recent conversation in which Jane declared she loves her life. B次元官网网址淪heB次元官网网址檚 ready to shake it off and move on.B次元官网网址�

Though Jane has a clean bill of health, she still has regular check ups and blood tests done, with those just having dropped to yearly visits after being gradually tapered down from more frequent appointments. Additionally, the BCCH now comes up to Kelowna to do follow ups with kids in the Okanagan and Shuswap, meaning the ScrantonB次元官网网址檚 donB次元官网网址檛 have to make the long trip to Vancouver anymore.

They are, however, looking forward to this final road trip.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e taking the whole family,B次元官网网址� Kim said. B次元官网网址淭hey came when she was sick, so they should get to come now too.B次元官网网址�
