My Story…
I am committing to running a half-marathon during the month of June to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. My goal is to reach 500$.
I support their fight for:
1. Equity in women’s health
Women are not small men. Their hearts and brains are different, yet two-thirds of heart and stroke research is still based on men. They are working hard to close the research gap, so more women are diagnosed early, treated properly and saved.
2. The heart-brain connection
Your heart and brain are strongly linked: when something goes wrong with one, the other is affected. So heart disease or a stroke can lead to dementia. We must investigate this connection to empower the healthcare system to treat the whole person, not just conditions in isolation, and keep them healthier, longer.
3. Rehabilitation, recovery and optimal health
Half of all Canadians have experienced or witnessed a painstaking fight back following a heart attack or stroke. Regaining function and quality of life can take years. We must help people in Canada recover more fully and get back to their best health possible, faster.
If you support the cause, and have the means please donate! Anything helps.
