My Story…
My godson, Wes, and I are back running Sport Chek Mother's Day Run's 10 km together in support of the Calgary Health Foundation. The NICU has been there for many children I know when they’ve needed it most and helped them fight to get healthy and strong.
It's also Wes's 18th birthday this month! He's a NICU graduate, and to celebrate, Sport Chek is going to MATCH donations we receive this year for the Calgary Health Foundation!
We’ve set our fundraising goal to $7,500, and Sport Chek has offered to match donations up to this amount.
Raising a total of $15,000 will make it our best year yet!
Thank you for your incredible support - 19 years running! We hope you can also get outside for some fresh air on Sunday, May 11. It’s become one of my favourite traditions with family and friends, including Wes and my Mom. If you sign up to walk, run or wheel, we’ll meet you at the start line for a group pic!
