"Without RVH my husband wouldn’t even be here. He got really sick a few years ago and they certainly helped save his life. It’s nice to not have to travel to get help," said Wagg.
The Auxiliary fundraising proceeds directly support RVH patients and the NICU expansion project. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is expanding its facilities by adding separate care rooms, which will provide patients with increased privacy.
Lorna and her husband Larry plan on using a portion of their winnings to go on a few vacations.
