Mr. Speaker, each year, my constituents Mike and Nicole MacArthur prepare for Caleb's Courage Superhero Walk, Run, and Fly. It is a community fun run in honour of their late son Caleb, who bravely battled cancer until he passed away in 2015 at the age of four. Notwithstanding that, Caleb's life will always be defined by his long-lasting impact. The Caleb's Courage movement has raised more than $750,000 to support critically ill children in Cape Breton. It is thanks to Caleb's Courage that the Cape Breton Regional Hospital is now home to the Caleb's Courage Superhero Suite. It is a superhero-themed pediatrics room that empowers children and their families during their medical battles. It has also allowed many children in my community to receive their treatments, often ones that are life-saving and at home. In honour of all children affected by cancer, I want to pay a special tribute to all the little superheroes like Caleb who have fought, or continue to fight, big battles. I would also want to thank Mike, Nicole, Ella, Aubreigh, Lauchlin, Emery and all those involved with the Caleb's Courage movement for doing their part to strengthen health care in Cape Breton—Canso.
