My Story…

Thank you for your support. This run is special to me because it is in honour of Monika Guzdek. Monika was a true inspiration, always striving to push her limits in everything she attempted. This was especially evident in running. She was particularly fond of this race, where she completed the 30km distance in 2022. Monika would often say that running felt like freedom, and she couldn’t wait to lace up her shoes and hit the road again. We run with Monika in our hearts, honouring her strength, her kindness, and the joy she brought to everyone around her. ❤️

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.
