Supporting a cause close to my heart

5/12/2016

Each of my grandparents suffered heart attacks and / or strokes which makes the Heart and Stroke Foundation near and dear to my heart. As a child, I remember canvassing with my mum after my grandfather had his heart attack and stroke. It made me feel like I was making a difference to helping him. With my family history, I work very hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

On Sunday, June 5th I'll be running the first ever Becel Heart&Stroke Ride for Heart run/walk! It actually takes place on the (closed) Gardiner Expressway!

There's still time to sign up and run with me. Simply go to: http://support.heartandstroke.ca/site/PageServer?pagename=RFH16_register As an ambassador, you can use my discount code AMB08 and save on your registration.

And, if you're more of an armchair cheerleader, you can donate towards my run. Your donation goes directly towards life-saving research and funding incredible breakthroughs to create more survivors of heart disease and stroke. Here's my donation page: http://support.heartandstroke.ca/site/TR?px=1222034&fr_id=2550&pg=personal

PS: I heard that Norm Kelly is going... Don't you want a chance to take a running selfie on the Gardiner with Norm?
