I'm excited to be part of Rally in the Ravine, a run/walk and community event in support of North York General Hospital (NYGH) once again this year. 

This is a cause that means a lot to me and many others in the community.  Many late night trips to their emergency department for myself, family members or kids.  Appointments, follow-ups, tests - all of these critical moments happen in this place of healing and kindness.  Everyone who walks through the doors of North York General feels taken care of.  

Most powerful for me, was losing my dad at NYGH almost 25 years ago.  While it was one of the most difficult moments of my life, I still remember the care and compassion of every staff member that we interacted with.  This care is the hallmark of what makes NYGH so special. 

I'm on a mission to help raise funds so that North York General can continue to be there for life?s most defining moments, from birth and throughout life. The hospital needs our support, but they can't do it without you!

How can you help? Please donate to my fundraising page which will help us reach the goal for this event. If you like, you can also register to participate and fundraise with us.

I hope you'll join me in supporting North York General. Whether you choose to make a donation or register to participate, your support will help NYGH be there for every baby born, every visit to the emergency department, every surgery, and every goodbye. A gift from you today will be a lifeline for those in our community, including loved ones, neighbours and friends.

Thank you!
