The 7N1D NoahStrong organization emerged from the enormous impact of Noah Dugas a 13-year-old boy who humbly united and inspired our community through exemplary values of kindness, compassion, determination, and bravery.
During his time at Sick Kids hospital Noah developed a series of affirmations that became our daily reminder of his strength, love and determination in overcoming the many challenges that he faced.
Noah’s words included: I am kind. I am strong. I am helpful. I can do hard things. I can reach my goals. I am a leader. I am resilient. I am brave. I am loved.
On November 13th, 2020 an unexpected brain bleed took Noah Dugas’ life. A family and a community were left to mourn this beautiful young soul.
His final gift was enriching 7 lives through organ donation.
Noah’s affirmations continue to guide us and have inspired the creation of the NoahStrong organization. This organization honours Noah’s legacy by supporting youth, families, and communities through the promotion, facilitation, and celebration of acts of kindness, selflessness, and resiliency.
