Sloane's Story
Sloane was born into a track family. Her mom Ali and Dad Dani were both previously coaches with the Calgary Warriors where Ali grew up as an athlete. Dani now coaches at Calgary International and Ali left coaching when pregnant with Sloane. Dani and Ali have been around track for a combined 34 years. Sloane’s paternal grandmother was also a formidable track coach and competitive athlete and ended her career in Calgary coaching at CALTAF.
Sloane was born at 23 weeks’ gestation and spent 17 weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where she contracted meningitis, sepsis, anemia, retinopathy of prematurity, CMV and lung disease and had some blood transfusions. It has been a very long journey for them going to the hospital 2-3 times a day and has impacted them financially and emotionally. While Sloane is now home, she will need ongoing medical care that will come at a financial cost. Sloane has proven to be a true warrior.
