This is the story of how a self-taught kid from Calgary went from building go-karts in his dad's garage to quitting his stable job to follow an insane dream—and build a life he loves.

After losing her 5-year-old son Lane in 2009 due to limited healthcare access, Michelle Bates transformed her grief into action. This powerful interview reveals how the Airdrie Health Foundation was born from tragedy and has since improved healthcare access for over 90,000 residents.

"Minutes matter. And I guess that's where our journey starts." - Michelle Bates

Lane was only five when he passed away during the H1N1 pandemic. He wanted to be a fireman to "save everyone." Today, his mother continues his legacy by fighting for better healthcare in Airdrie, where residents still lack basic services like a hospital, dialysis clinic, and 24-hour emergency care.

This emotional interview explores why "just go to Calgary" isn't a solution, how the foundation has saved lives through equipment donations, and why Michelle continues her work: "I'm that terrified that something will happen to my kids."
