Tallyn Spring hosted her eighth birthday party Sunday afternoon. She didn’t get presents – she didn’t want them.
She asked everyone who attended her skating party at the Cardel Rec Center on Shawville Blvd S.E. to donate to the Alberta Children’s Hospital Neurosurgery unit.
"So I can raise money for my sister's surgeon to do more research because she has epilepsy and cerebral palsy," Tallyn told CTV News Calgary. "My friend's brother's a Hitmen player and so I asked him if he could ask his mom if he can come and they said yes." This year Taylln approached three Calgary companies, convincing them to donate matching funds for any donations up to $1,000.Special Olympics volunteers gather ahead of upcoming Calgary gamesSuper Bowl: Kansas City Chiefs defeat San Francisco 49ers
