/PRNewswire/ -- The acclaimed television series, Behind
the Mystery™, will bring its unique blend of
storytelling and impact to Chicago's own Shriners Children's
Hospital on January 14,
2025. Known for raising awareness about rare and genetic
diseases, the show will highlight the extraordinary work of
Shriners Children's Chicago while
transforming a recreational room into a vibrant, welcoming space
for young patients and their families.
This special episode will be hosted by celebrity designer
Jennifer Bertrand, who will lead the
renovation project. Alongside this effort, the episode will delve
into the life of Vivian, an 12-year-old patient with osteogenesis
imperfecta (commonly known as brittle bone disease), and share the
dedication of a nurse who has profoundly impacted the lives of
patients at Shriners.
Despite over 40 bone fractures caused by osteogenesis
imperfecta, Vivian has never let her condition define her. Under
the expert care of Shriners Children's Chicago's OI team, Vivian has thrived,
becoming a competitive swimmer and Illinois multi-ability state champion in
several events.
Shriners Children's Chicago is
renowned for its cutting-edge treatment, research, and support for
children with complex orthopedic conditions, cleft lip and palate,
spinal cord injuries, and other specialized needs. Families from
across the globe turn to Shriners for its family-centered approach,
where medical excellence meets compassionate care.
"From the moment we arrived, the staff at Shriners told us, 'We
want to hear from you. You know your child best,'" says Vivian's
mother, Dorota Wandycz. "The care
and support we've received have made all the difference. Vivian
loves coming here—it feels like a family."
Today, the Wandycz family serves as ambassadors for Shriners,
sharing their gratitude with others and encouraging families to
seek care at the hospital.
"Having a child with a rare disease as well, this project
couldn't be more important to me. Seeing how my designs can uplift
both patients and staff is incredibly rewarding." – Jennifer Bertrand, Award Winning Celebrity
Designer and Host.
