What the H4H Mega Run is All About
Hearts for Healthcare is a non-profit, registered charity developed to enhance and enrich the quality of our local healthcare. Our focus is on physician attraction and retention, raising community awareness, purchasing necessary medical equipment, and providing facility upgrades within our local healthcare community.
Hearts for Healthcare is pleased to announce that we are bringing back the Virtual H4H Mega Run!! Move for your Health, Move for Hearts. We have all felt the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and we know how important it is to find ways to bring families together, provide some fun for our community and still raise some much-needed funds for local healthcare. The H4H Mega Run will begin August 13th and wrap up at our "Pick-Up Day" on September 18th. Participants are asked to make a $25 donation for adults and $15 for youth (12 and under) and with that you will receive a locally made custom medallion from Marigold Lane Creative and a community sourced race kit. H4H has created a number of designated routes throughout the community to choose from that each have 5 Community Checkpoints, where participants can complete challenges (during or after you complete the route) in order to be entered to win prizes. You can choose to follow the H4H designated routes or complete your own race, anywhere they wish; we encourage creativity…run/walk/bike/swim/skip/dance or simply donate to a good cause. It can be completed (or not) anytime within the 5 weeks. The idea is to have fun, be creative and be accessible to everyone.
Our goal this year is to further fund our main initiatives: supporting physician recruitment and retention, building public awareness and providing equipment purchases for our healthcare facilities. This year we are focused on raising funds in support of an Infusion Clinic led by the Cold Lake Primary Care Network in partnership with the Cold Lake Healthcare Centre. In order to support this clinic we have committed to provide 2 Infusion Pumps. The clinic will allow more patients to receive their injections safely and efficiently, minimize wait times and backlog and reduce stress on the Emergency Room department.
If you have any questions about The H4H Mega Run, H4H or how to register and/or donate please call Kari at 1-780-812-1312 or email at coordinator@heartsforhealthcare.ca.
Thank you in advance for your continued support in enhancing our community’s healthcare.
Sincerely,
The Hearts for Healthcare Fundraising Committee
