My Story…
Funds raised through this year’s Bay Race will support mental health programs at St. Joe’s including the expansion and renewal of Emergency Mental Health Services – a service that has never been more important than it is right now as we all cope with the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to urgent mental health care and support has never been more important, and that’s why I’m writing to ask you to consider making a donation to support my run.
My family is particularly interested in St. Joe's psychiatric care, research and innovative programs to help radically reduce the disability and stigma associated with mental illness and addiction. We are happy to learn that funds raised through the Around the Bay Road Race will be used to help fund the redevelopment and expansion of psychiatric emergency services.
I am excited to run the 30k event in person again and have decided to challenge myself and take on "The Hammer" and will also be completing all of the following distances virtually- 2k, 5k, 10k, 15k.
I will challenge all of you as well - to make a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal and repeat as the top individual fundraiser in this event. Thank you to those of you who have helped me achieve my goals over the last 7 years, and thanks to those who have now supported this years campaign as well.
Thanks in advance for your support!

Description
Welcome to my fundraising page!
I’m very excited to be participating in the 2022 Around the Bay Road Race (ATB) in support of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation. This cause is very important to me because St. Joe’s is in many ways the heart of Hamilton – nearly everyone in our community has been touched by the incredible patient care they provide, and inspired by the bravery the Hospital’s care teams showed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Funds raised through this year’s Bay Race will support the expansion and renewal of our Emergency Mental Health Services – a service that has never been more important than it is right now as we all cope with the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As well, funds raised will bring us one step closer to creating a new CT Suite in our busy Emergency Department. A CT Suite in the ER will help our patients get the answers they need quickly while also helping our Hospital to catch up on the backlog of diagnostic imaging procedures put on hold during the peaks of the pandemic.
I hope that you’ll consider supporting me as I take on the Around the Bay Road Race and raise funds for St. Joe’s. I’m encouraged by the support I’ve already received, but I still need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Every dollar we raise together will support hope, healing and discovery at St. Joe’s. Please consider donating today.
Thanks for your support!
