Why?

Monday 13th Apr
As some of you may know, this past summer I have been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (heart failure). It has been a very eye-opening and trying time for me and my family. Unless you get a diagnosis yourself, you don't know how real it actually is until you hear the doctors tell you the news. I know it sounds so cliché but this experience has really reminded me that time is precious and taking care of your health is even more important than you realize. There is a rollercoaster ride of emotions you have to push through everyday and sometimes that is the most exhausting. Without the help of my family, my team of doctors at the heart function clinic, or all of the medical advancements that exist, i don't know if I'd be healing as much as I am today ...let alone still be alive. We are so blessed to have the healthcare that we do. "Heart conditions and stroke are a leading cause of death in Canada, taking a life every five to seven minutes. They account for nearly one in five deaths in the country, or over 90,000 deaths annually when including related vascular conditions. These diseases are a critical health threat, with over 6 million people living with their effects". I am one of the lucky ones. So far. So as much as it will be a challenge for me, I am working on being able to fundraise for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. The goal is to be able to walk 1K a day in May. So now i am looking for your support. If you are able to, please make a pledge, donate and/or share my link with everyone you know.  Or consider participating and fundraising yourself. Thank you for your time ❤️ 🙏🏼
