My Story…
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.
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.
For that reason, I have joined the Team from the Peter Boris Centre for Addictions Research so that my funds raised will be used to conduct state-of-the-art research on the causes, consequences and treatment of addiction.
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 9 years, and thanks to those who have now supported this year’s campaign as well.
Training for this year has been really tough, so I really need your support to help carry me across the finish line!
Thank you for your support :)

Description
Welcome to my fundraising page!
I’m very excited to be participating in the 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.
Where Funds Raised Will Go at St. Joe’s:
When emergencies happen, every second counts. That’s why our Emergency Room (ER) is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. St. Joe’s is home to the busiest ER in the city caring for more than 60,000 patients annually – which equates to 167 visits every, single day. But after 20+ years, our current ER footprint is too small to keep pace with the growing demand for urgent care. To continue caring for our community, we need larger waiting rooms, more patient care bays, and a triage area that will better protect the privacy of our patients. Funds raised through the 2024 Bay Race will help construct a new ER at St. Joe’s Charlton Campus so that when emergencies happen, Hamilton can count on St. Joe’s.
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.
Thanks for your support!
