The Drive, the afternoon show on Bell Media's TSN1200, went live on Nov. 19, 2025, from the site of the Minto Dream Home, the grand prize of the CHEO 2025 Dream of a Lifetime Lottery.
During the show, hosts Steve Lloyd and Graham Creech spoke with Vera Etches, CHEO’s president and CEO, about what she’s learned since joining CHEO and the impact of donations.
The hosts also interviewed Adam Lamoureux, CHEO's director of critical care and surgical services, about how donations help CHEO address wait times for care.
Money from every ticket in the Dream of a Lifetime lottery goes to support the CHEO Foundation’s Kids These Days campaign.
