Help Kathy raise money

For participating in 2022 Edmonton Heartbeat Run

My Story…

A couple of years ago, out of the blue I was told that I needed an Aortic Valve Replacement. My heart was struggling, I had the beginings of heart failure. I needed open heart surgery.  I was in shock and it was a very scary time for me. 

The Mazankowski Heart Institute saved my life. I am here because of this great facility and the amazing people at the Mazankowski. Thank you Dr. MacArthur, Dr. Tyrell and all the special nurses and care providers that helped me through this.  

I am doing this run because I want to celebrate life!  I feel very blessed to have had this surgery and to be healthy. I feel extremely fortunate to have access to the Mazankowski and I want others to be able to experience the same care when they need some help! I want them to join the run next time!
