Conquering the Day Before Dawn: My Birthday Walk in Memory of My Mom 🌅✨

This year, I am celebrating my birthday by honoring the memory of the loving, strong, and resilient woman who gave me life—my Mom.

On September 25th, I’ll be waking up before the sun 🌞 to complete the Dawn Walk 👣 raising funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in her loving memory. 🤍

Mom was a true early riser. She loved the peace of the morning and always "conquered the day before dawn," regularly accomplishing more before sunrise than I could in an entire day!

Even after facing a massive stroke at the age of 61, three more neurological events after that,  and being struck by a van, her strength and determination never wavered. I watched her adapt each time  with incredible resilience, keeping up with her passions and jumping right into aquafit classes to stay active and keep moving forward 🏊‍♀️

Walking into the sunrise on my birthday feels like the perfect tribute to her unstoppable spirit. 🌅 I’m raising funds to support critical stroke recovery resources and life-saving research, ensuring other families get more precious time with the people they love.

➡️ How you can help:
  • Donate: If you are able to support my walk, any donation makes a meaningful difference!
  • Share: If you are unable to donate, sharing this link with your network would be appreciated! https://give.heartandstroke.ca/fundraisers/corinnecarbone16242/dawn-walk
  • Support: Sending me a kind word would mean the world to me! 
With gratitude for helping me celebrate my mom's beautiful spirit on my special day. 🙏

Corinne 🙏💕

Reflections on Dawn Walk Day for Mom

Sunday 4th Oct
25 Sept. 2026

It was such a lovely and meaningful way to spend my birthday, watching the sun rise 🌅 remembering Mom, and feeling surrounded by so much love and support.I could feel mom's presence, and I know she would have been so touched by the outpouring of support for a cause that has affected so many in our family. ❤️

Everyone's generosity continues to amaze me—I could not have imagined we would be approaching three times my original fundraising goal! 🙏  Knowing these funds will support research focused on WOMEN'S ♀️ HEART AND BRAIN HEALTH has made this journey even more meaningful.

The day unfolded beautifully from sunrise to moonrise. 🌅🌕 We walked about 11.5 km through Humber Bay Park East and the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area. Along the way, we were greeted by bunnies, saw a beaver returning from its chores, absorbed the peace and glow of the early morning 😌 and chatted with fellow nature loving folks! After the walk, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at San Remo Bakery, and unexpectedly ran into a second cousin on Mom’s❣️ side and his wife, whom I hadn’t seen in years! 😃✨️

The afternoon was spent at Thermea Spa, soaking in thermal baths, saunas, nature, and quiet relaxation in the glorious sunshine 🌞 To top off the day, the Harvest Moon lit up the sky! 🌕

A special thank you to my dear friend, Andrea, for sharing the day with me! (And putting up with my semiconscious babbling at the end of the night 😆) Your presence, thoughtfulness and friendship mean the world to me! ❤️🤗

To everyone who donated, shared my page, reached out, sent a kind thought, or walked alongside me in person or in spirit, as mom would say, "Grazie assai!" 🤗😘 

What began as a walk in Mom’s memory became a birthday I’ll remember forever. I’m already inspired to register as a team next year! ❤️

Wishing you all a HEALTHY HEART AND BRAIN! 

I’ll share a couple of Heart & Stroke resources in a separate post for anyone who’d like to learn more.

24 Hours: Goal Achieved! 🎉🙏

I’m still taking this in — what an incredible response! 

In less than 24 hours, you’ve helped me reach my fundraising goal for the Dawn Walk. I’m so grateful to everyone who donated, shared the page, sent a message, or simply cheered me on. Every bit of support has made this feel even more meaningful.

This walk is close to my heart as we come together to support heart health and honour my mom. ❤️

And we’re not stopping here! There’s still time to make an even greater impact 💥 I've decided to increase my fundraising goal to $1000.

Thank you for showing up for something that means so much to me. I can’t wait to take those first steps at dawn knowing how many people are walking alongside me. 🌅💕

Thank you to my Donors
