SDS receives $30,000 G riffiths M cB urney & Partners (G M P), a partner ow ned, leading Toronto investm ent firm , has recently donated $30,000 to Shw achm an Diam ond Syndrom e (SDS) C anada, co founded by M ike and Kym Sm yth o f Oakville. G M P supports initiatives involving children, through their charitable foun dation. "We look for grass roots organi zations that need that initial invest ment." said Joanne Stansfield o f G M P and an Oakville resident. "T hrough the Sm yths I learned about Shwachm an D iam ond Syndrom e and saw first hand how this disease affects children and learned how little is known about it. "SDS C anada is a national charity established by a group o f parents, the Sm yths included, and doctors so that they could share inform ation. We at G M P are delighted to fund research into the disease." Shw achm an D iam ond is a m ulti faceted syndrome, afflicting the pan creas, skeleton and blood w hich can lead to leukemia. "Funding from com panies such as G M P is critical as so much more needs to be understood about this syndrom e in order to save the children," said M ike Sm yth o f SDS Canada. "T oronto's renow ned Sick C hildren's Hospital is the global leader for this syndrom e and along with The U niversity o f Toronto perform much needed research." said Smyth.
