Matthew LeBlanc

Twins Ben and Matthew LeBlanc were born prematurely, at 32 weeks, in 2012 and were immediately admitted to the IWK’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Ben did very well and was discharged after five weeks. Unfortunately, Matthew’s experience was much different-he was born with kidneys that were not functioning and at just three days old, he began dialysis to keep him alive.
