    The 2025 Children’s Miracle Network Champions are Lyndon and Zander Andersen, twin boys from Bay Bulls.

    If there’s one place that is near and dear to all of our hearts, it’s the Janeway Children's Hospital in the capital city. Yesterday, the Janeway Foundation launched the 41st Annual Janeway Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Telethon in Witless Bay. The 2025 Children’s Miracle Network Champions are Lyndon and Zander Andersen, twin boys from Bay Bulls. The boys’ mom Adina Stamp says they were born at 25 weeks. Tragically, the boy’s brother Billy did not make it. Lyndon and Zander each weighing barely a pound, faced immense health challenges. Lyndon spent 209 days in the NICU battling infections, blood clots, and fractures in all his bones. He was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, which causes daily seizures. Zander struggled with breathing issues and a heart condition called PDA. The boys dad, Will Anderson says they are forever thankful for the Janeway.

    Funds raised at the 41st Janeway Foundation Telethon, airing on NTV on Saturday and Sunday, June 7th and 8th, will support new equipment and education grants, and facilitate research projects.
