The 17-year-old high school student was rushed to the hospital in 2023 when she woke up with a migraine, infection and loss of mobility on her right side. Doctors told parents Julie and Rob Mueller that Chloe needed immediate neurosurgery to save her life.

Upon waking up, Chloe had to learn to walk again. Today, she is heading back to Grade 12 and is excited for life to return to normal.

For the first time since the successful surgery, Chloe is serving up blizzards for Miracle Treat Day 2024. She says the experience has “made her more passionate” about the fundraiser, and she is grateful to be here and to her neuro team at Alberta Children’s Hospital.
