My Story…
It's that time of year again! This year I'm hoping to raise $1,000 for YANA by riding 500kms (double last year's kms!) between now and the end of the 50km YANA ride on August 18.
Help me raise $2/km for YANA! use the link above to donate to my fundraising page.
Thank you for your donation and support!
YANA (You Are Not Alone) is a registered charity available to Comox Valley families who need to travel for the medical care of a child under 19 or a pregnant mother. YANA offers accommodation and provides funding to help with expenses while families are away from home.
YANA was founded in 1986 by Sandra Williams after the financial and emotional devastation resulting from her daughter’s diagnosis of congenital heart failure and lengthy medical treatment in Vancouver. Sandra and her family committed to building an organization that ensured Comox Valley families would have the support of their community during these stressful circumstances.
YANA is proud to be the steward of Sandra’s legacy and assists with an average of 400 medical trips each year, supporting hundreds of children and families.
Description
Every dollar raised in the community goes to help provide financial support and accommodation to Comox Valley families who need to travel to access medical care for a child or pregnant mother.
$50 = 1 night stay at a YANA apartment in Vancouver near BC Children’s Hospital
$100 = 4 night stay at Jeneece Place, Victoria
$200 = YANA envelope of cash for family’s emergency hospital transfer
$500 = 3 nights Nanaimo hotel accommodation
$1350 = 1 month medical travel expense funding
Any amount you donate to help YANA help families in our community is so greatly appreciated!
