Robert and Mona Ridings have been married more than 67 years, but a few years ago, their time together almost ended.
Robert was diagnosed with bladder and lung cancer. He had to undergo immediate treatment.
Surgery was not an option.
Ridings said the teams at Trenton Memorial and Belleville General helped save his life. “Dr Greg Leal and the teams at the two hospitals gave me tender, loving care.”
On Wednesday February 5 at Trenton Memorial, the Ridings family was on hand to say thank you. They handed over a cheque for $10,000. The money will go to support cystoscopy at TMH. The family will also be going to BGH to hand over another $5,000 which will go to the oncology department.
The family says they are doing this publicly because they want to inspire others to support local health care.
