It’s a story that goes beyond the sport of hockey. Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch and his wife, Kylie, announced a $50,000 donation to Sisters of Charity Hospital on Friday afternoon.

A year ago, Tuch’s son Teller was fighting for his life at the Neonatal Critical Care Unit at the hospital. Shortly after birth, Teller was not breathing and suffered from a collapsed lung three different times.

"It was a painful, painful process of watching these numbers on a monitor over and over for hours at a time. I still get dreams sometimes of the numbers on that monitor,” said Tuch.

Tuch and his wife endured the longest two weeks of their lives until, finally, with plenty of medical help and an abundance of hope, Teller began to experience a miraculous turnaround. After two and a half weeks, Teller’s lungs had developed, and the puncture in his lung had healed. He was able to go home.

Tuch called it one of the best moments of his life. He and his family wanted to give back.

We are so lucky to live in this time of human history were miracles like this happen so often.

This is true, in developed countries. I often work in parts of the world where there would be exactly zero chance this child survives. 

Alas, a good deed nevertheless.
