Help Rafal raise money

For participating in Around the Bay Road Race 2024

My Story…

Please sponsor, cheer for me and my team EM ALLSTARTS or join us for historic Hamilton Around the Bay Race celebrating 130th anniversary on March 24th, 2024. Funds raised through this year's Bay Race will help to construct a new Emergency Room at St. Joe's Charlton Campus. I have been RN in this wonderful department for last 16 years and had a privilege to serve our Hamilton downtown community with all my colleagues and teammates and promise to continue provide excellent care, however we need your help Hamilton friends. To continue carrying for growing needs in our community, we need larger waiting room, more patient care bays and a triage area that will better protect the privacy of our patients. Please sponsor us and help us achieve our goals and raise much needed funds to help construct a new ER at St. Joe's, so when emergencies happen Hamilton can count on St. Joe's.

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!
