My Story…
Hi there, Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I am excited to be participating in the virtual Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in October! I will be raising funds for Osteoporosis Canada through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge to raise awareness of a disease that affects 2 million Canadians. Funds raised will be used to provide education so that both women and men will make bone health a priority and tools, resources and support to help those with the disease live well with osteoporosis. I want to make a difference. Please help me do that by making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. As Scotiabank covers all the fees associated with online fundraising, 100% of the funds you donate will go directly to Osteoporosis Canada.
At age 57, my diagnosis of osteoporosis after experiencing a spinal fracture came as a bit of a shock. I was aware of my personal risk factors, but I honestly thought that I was looking 15 - 20 years down the road. I wasn't fully educated though and now I am hoping to help others become educated, before this disease can creep up on them.
Thank you for your support!
