My Story…
Running has been my anchor during life’s most stressful moments. It’s my time to reflect, push my limits, and remind myself that mind over matter can turn any goal into reality. In 2023, I completed my first half marathon; an unforgettable and exhilarating experience. This year, I’m taking on an even bigger challenge: running 30K on March 30th, just before my 30th birthday!
But this run is about more than just me. I’m fundraising to support robotic surgery innovation at St. Joe’s, where cutting-edge technology helps cancer patients recover faster and get life-changing care.
As a healthcare worker, this cause is incredibly close to my heart. Running and healthcare have both shaped my journey, and the opportunity to merge them for such a meaningful purpose makes this challenge even more special.
I would be so grateful for your support, every contribution, big or small brings us closer to improving lives. Let’s make an impact together!
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.
