Help Tim raise money

For participating in Tamarack Ottawa Virtual Race Weekend 2020

My Story…

Hi! My name is Tim Kerr. I am a 28-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy and a stroke survivor. I am asking that you please consider sponsoring me in the 2020 Scotiabank Charity Challenge at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend! I'm racing a total of 59.2 km (2km + 5km + 10km + full marathon) to raise support and awareness for the Bruyère Foundation, which supports the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital Stroke Rehabilitation Unit and other critical health service facilities in the Ottawa region. In 2012 I suffered a brain hemorrhage and stroke, and was a patient at the stroke rehab unit at Elizabeth Bruyère Hospital for over 3 months. It was a long, hard journey, but with the love and support from my family, friends and the men and women at Bruyère I managed to recover very well. Now that I am able to, I want to raise awareness of all of the great work that Bruyère does, and ensure that other people in need have access to the critical services they provide. Thank you!
