Walking for Mom - Every Step Counts
Thursday 9th Apr This May, I’m walking 1 km every single day to raise funds for Heart & Stroke in honour of my mother and in memory of her strength.ÂLast July, my mom suffered her first stroke. She spent weeks in hospital and faced, partial paralysis of her right side. With the help of incredible rehabilitation specialist at Elizabeth Bruyère, in Ottawa, she slowly regained enough strength to use a walker and return home.Â
In December 2025, she suffered another stroke that affected her ability to speak and swallow.   After a week at the Civic  Hospital, and respecting her wish to be made comfortable, she passed away surrounded with family by her side.Â
This May, as Mother’s Day approaches, I’ll be walking every day to reflect on her courage and resilience, and to help others who are facing similar battles. Every donation supports vital research, prevention, and recovery programs through Heart and Stroke.Â
Your support means the world to me and families like mine. Together, we can make every heartbeat count.Â
