A Comox Valley family is honouring the memory of their son with a fundraiser at Queneesh Elementary.

She adds fundraising efforts to honour Brayden’s legacy will continue.

Nikki Robbins comments:

“Moving forward, our plan is to create a Brayden Robbins Legacy of Light and Hope,” Robbins says. “We will continue to do certain fundraising to put towards making changes in the [pediatric care] system.
