A Chinook’s Edge staff member is making a difference in the lives of hospitalized children.
Myles Doupe, a member of the Chinook’s Edge technology team, is donating toys he has created on his 3-D printer to the Red Deer Hospital Foundation. The foundation gives them to the hospital to share with children during their stay.
Myles Doupe heard about the need for toys from his wife, Shanna Doupe, who works for the Foundation. That was six months ago. Since then, he has donated 50 plastic toys that he printed on his personal 3D printer.
Shanna Doupe said, “When I mentioned the need for toys in the Emergency Department, Myles immediately jumped at the chance to help. He took his passion for 3D printing and said, ‘How can I help someone?’ When people jump in with both feet to help in whatever way they can, big or small, the world is a better place.”
