Our event began in 2008. Starting at the Charles W. Stockey Centre, we offered 2K, 5K and 10K routes along the sparkling waters of Georgian Bay. Our naming was a natural … Walk, Run, Pole – Do It For Life!
We had no idea how critical this event would be to funding local cardiac care. Over the years, the money raised helped reopen ICU when the patient-monitoring system crashed in April 2014, bought the first 3 of the Health Centre’s Bi-PAP machines, bought Rehab patients self-monitoring cuffs as well as specific exercise equipment, renewed the Rehab monitoring system, installed the Rehab Unit’s monitor defibrillator, replaced the Cardiovascular Ultrasound system, brought new breathing technology to the Health Centre (heat flow therapy) and replaced nine defibrillators throughout the organization. It’s truly miraculous what a small group of people dedicated to a cause can do! In 2020 the global pandemic forced the event to be virtual. In 2021, we created a hybrid event.
Now...
A month long virtual fitness and fundraising challenge, with a special 5k Celebration on June 1st!The goal is to move and track your distance, time or steps daily while securing pledges along the way.
Every day we move, we get healthier. Every pledge we gather, we can move closer to our goal of completing the $1.1 million dollar Surigical Suites project.
Be The Difference
Events are more than just gatherings; they evoke memories, spark emotions, and unite us all in a shared purpose - keeping exceptional health care minutes from your dock or door.
