Supporting the BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund and the Burn & Plastic Surgery Unit at VGH
VANCOUVER - British Columbians have a chance to win a fortune for a $50 ticket in the Hometown Heroes Lottery, one of the most affordable lotteries for a cause in the province. The hometown heroes are fire fighters on the front line, and the nurses who care for those injured in fires, and those suffering from trauma or disease. The heroes are also the patients themselves - many of them kids - who fight to survive. The journey from burn patient to burn survivor is a long and painful one. Facing a lifetime of pain or disfigurement is just the beginning for most burn survivors. Their struggle to heal the acute emotional and psychological trauma is equally daunting.
