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 10 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!

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.
