This run holds a special place in our hearts as we honour Maggie, an exceptional perinatal nurse known for her unwavering dedication to her patients. Maggie's selflessness extended beyond her professional life, as she became a devoted caregiver to her husband following his Alzheimer's diagnosis. Later, when Maggie herself received an Alzheimer's diagnosis, she became a cherished resident of McCormick Home.
Maggie's Run is a testament to her resilience, the impact she has had on countless lives, and the compassionate care she received at McCormick Home.
This goal goes beyond provincial government funding, making your donation crucial in advancing excellence in dementia care and senior care at McCormick Home and in our community.
By participating in Maggie's Run, you'll not only honour Maggie's legacy but also contribute to the well-being of residents at McCormick Home.
Lace-up your running shoes, join us in celebrating Maggie's remarkable journey, and make a lasting impact in the lives of others.
