Paddles Up for a Great Cause!

As the Dragon Boat Festival draws near, the splash of paddles and the sound of laughter have returned — training season is in full swing! I’m so proud (and lucky!) to be part of a remarkable crew of female physicians who push me to work hard, laugh harder, and find pure joy in making that monolithic dragon boat move forward together!

Every moment on the water with these women is energizing — but what makes it truly meaningful is knowing we’re paddling for a purpose. This year, we’re raising funds to support some incredible local organizations: Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa, Nutrition Blocs, The Partage Vanier Food Bank, Roger Neilson Children’s Hospice, and Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

These charities uplift our community by investing in youth development, resilience, grief support, food security, and healthy living. Your contribution — no matter the amount — helps keep those ripples of impact growing.

Please do consider a donation. Every dollar adds up. Together, we can make waves for a better community!
