🌟 I need your support! 🌟

This September I'm walking and fundraising for Heart & Stroke, and I can’t do it alone. Every donation, big or small, brings me one step closer to my fundraising target.

Will you join me in making a difference? 🙌

For me, this cause is personal. 16 years ago my family suffered the sudden loss of my uncle, Chuck Hart, only 9 days after my daughter was born 3 months premature. He was only 47. 

Last year, I started experiencing possible heart related symptoms and had to undergo multiple tests. Luckily, my heart is fine but every kilometer of this 90 KM challenge will be a physical battle for me. I've been fighting chronic pain for the last 3 years from a form of arthritis affecting my spine and pelvis. Some days, just moving is hard, but I'm going to push through the pain to honour my uncle's memory, celebrate my health, and help fund life-saving research.
