My Story…
Hi! I am an avid runner and emergency room nurse!
I believe that running is the cornerstone to living a healthier lifestyle, both physically and mentally.
I know too well the great needs of emergency departments across Ontario, and St Josephs Hospital is no exception.
Please consider sponsoring me towards the goal of providing better health care for all!
Thank you for supporting this cause. I pray our paths will never cross in the ER, but in the event it does, we are here to help.
Now, back to training, there is a lot of work to be done! :)
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!
