My Story…
Over the last 2 years I have reignited my love for long distance running.
Not only is it great for mental and physical health, running has also given me a beautiful sense of community, belonging, and allows me to set personal goals while raising awareness and donations for a great cause.
I am excited to run this historic race and complete my longest distance run to date! What makes this even more exciting is that Around the Bay Road Race is partnered with St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, a pillar in the Hamilton community, supporting the future care of patients and ground breaking research.
If able, please consider donating - I greatly appreciate the support!
Description
Welcome to my fundraising page!
This year, I’m taking on the Around the Bay Road Race (ATB) and raising funds to support St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation. 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.
Your donation to my run will support the robotic surgery revolution underway at St. Joe’s. Over the past 12 years, more than 4,500 people have received robotic surgery and dozens of research studies have shown they’re experiencing smaller incisions that heal faster, with less scarring, and reduce the chance of infection, too. But what’s more, is that robotic surgery patients are going home sooner, with fewer post-operative complications and a quicker return to their lives and families.
Here’s the challenge: Robotic surgery is so new that only 3 of the 10 types of robotic surgery performed at St. Joe’s are funded by the province. For surgeries to help those needing a hip or knee replacement, and to treat those living with oral, esophageal, lung and bladder cancers, the Hospital relies on donations to events like the Bay Race. Let’s bring the power of robotic surgery to every patient who would benefit from it.
Thank you for donating to my run and for fueling the future of care at St. Joe’s.
