My Story…

My brother, Brian Hand, was a dedicated runner with ATB being his favourite. He completed 11 30 k races, loving the nostalgia of Hamilton and Burlington, his two home cities. I completed my one and only 30k in 2004, and after his death in 2015, I ran the relay 3 times. Giving back has been really important to me and I’ve been a volunteer for 8 years with medals or registrations. Despite injuries and medical surprises, I’m going to set a goal of 5k for 2026. I just can’t miss it! ATB is addictive and in my blood!

Description

Welcome to my fundraising page!

This year I’m taking on the Around the Bay Road Race and raising funds for St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation. St. Joe’s is the heart of Hamilton — nearly everyone I know has been touched by the exceptional care provided here.

Funds raised through Around the Bay will buy much‑needed healthcare equipment at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. It may seem surprising that items like ultrasound machines, wheelchairs, and other essential devices aren’t covered by provincial operating dollars. The truth is nearly every piece of equipment used in the Hospital is funded by donations from people like you and events like the Bay Race.

Please know that the money you help me raise has a real, immediate impact on the lives of patients at St. Joe’s. Your support buys the tools clinicians use every day to diagnose, treat, and comfort our neighbours.

Thank you for donating to my campaign and for helping fund the equipment that cares at St. Joe’s.
