I'm excited to be making a world of difference by supporting North York General my way!
As some of you may know, I was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease when I was a child. This condition causes the immune system to attack the blood vessels. And because it tends to affect the coronary arteries, it is also one of the leading causes of heart disease in kids.
I was fortunate to receive treatment at North York General, and my memory of the time in the hospital was one full of love and care, not just from family, but also from all the staff there. As a result, it's become clear over the years, that I've retained a strong heart to do all the wild and active things I'm known to do!
This year, I will be racing the Olympic triathlon in support of North York General Hospital in the 2024 Toronto Triathlon Festival on July 14. For those curious about the distances... I will be trying not to drown during the 1.5km swim, praying that I don't crash on the 40km bike, and hoping I don't fall during the 10km run.
By making a donation, you will be helping to provide new equipment, enhanced spaces and technology across the entire hospital so care teams can continue to provide exceptional care to patients and their families.
I hope you'll join me in stepping up for North York General. With your generosity, we will make a world of difference for thousands of people in the community, including loved ones, neighbours and friends.
Thank you!
