This May, I'm taking on a 31 day running challenge in support of my local children's hospital!

Every day, over 5,000 children receive care at a children’s hospital in Canada and by supporting me, you’ll be helping fund life-saving research at your own local children’s hospital. Funds for research are needed now more than ever, and your support will allow researchers to uncover new cures and gentler treatments for kids.

Show your support by donating now!

I've raised since for my local children's hospital.

What a month! I  am soooo close to my km goal, surpassed my donations goal and am so proud of Purple Power! We are well on  the way to exceeding our donations goal as well. Roseanne's quilt donation has almost sold out of tickets. We will draw on June 1st. Humbled. Proud.

Hospital visit

Thursday 14th May
I knew my participation in this event was important.  I  knew that my participation was part of a bigger picture.  What I didn't know, until yesterday, the scope of service and care Jim Pattison Children's Hospital provides.
We had the opportunity to take a tour of the facility.  What I learned was the totality if care, the understanding of family needs, and the effort given to making every child comfortable and valued. From the design, to the incredible team of professionals, attention and sensitivity is forefront. 
Thank you Laura, and your team for this amazing day. 
85,000 children in a year. What an honor to give back in a small way to those who have provided care for Lexi and Katherine. 

4th Year!

Sunday 8th Mar
I am beyond thankful to be able to participate again. I am on the cusp of 70, working every day to stay mobile. I run...well walk actually, for my granddaughter.  She has medical challenges that will be lifelong. Saskatoon   Jim Pattison Children's Hospital has provided her exceptional care. It's my small way to give back, with gratitude. ♥️

Here we go again! 4th year!

Sunday 8th Mar
I cannot believe that I am able to participate again!  I have been faithfully going to physio and attending motion , yoga classes and now attend a gym! That alone is a win! All this  to improve my mobility.  I am a 69 year old grandma, living with double knee surgery complications . I  participate to bring awareness and  wellness to my granddaughter.  She continues her brave days living with epilepsy and  other health challenges.  She is vibrant and ever resilient.  She inspires me to be the same.
Jimmy Patison Children's Hospital is such an amazing place.  Her care and the care of so may others is vital in our province.
This year, I am  joined again by my daughter, my neice and my granddaughter, and friends.  I  hope we can become a team of fearless, committed warriors!
Our team is gathering donations, but also will be selling tickets on a special quilt, made and donated by Rose-Anne Johner,one of our team!
Purple Power!

Thank you to my donors
