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!

On the Move for Emmy

Friday 3rd May
Last night I had a meeting in the University District. I chose to park a few km away and walk to the Alt Hotel. I’m so glad I did. Not only did it allow me to train but I also witnessed some amazing things I wouldn’t have noticed if I didn’t slow down to smell the roses- thanks Emmy for helping me notice the beauty of my day

We’re off to a great start

Thursday 4th Apr
Thanks to everyone who has donated to our initiative so far. We are making progress towards our goal. Incase you were wondering what Emmy Strong Initiatives might consist of, they are initiatives done on behalf of Emmy’s memory to contribute to and support the comfort of families who are involved with the children’s hospital.

Jesus walks wIth us

Happy Easter everyone. Yesterday as I sat at church celebrating with my Southwinds family, pastor Bo told a story of Winston Churchill's funeral. At the end of the service he had a bugler play taps (international sound for the end of a battle) https://youtu.be/WChTqYlDjtI?si=pp263v8ZfuizB9YI , immediately followed by a 2nd bugler playing Reveille a sign to walk up and start a new day . https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2922308744709603 In other words he may be gone but the battle rags on. This is our Emmy Reveille. Keep Running. <3 Erin

Training has officially started

Friday 29th Mar
Spring break started yesterday at 4 pm and Erin and June did their first training walk at 6pm. 
It’s going to take consistency to get myself up to 30 km- we were able to walk 4 before the wind blew up home last night https://www.facebook.com/share/xYvDt6KfCmqop5F1/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Amazing Celebration of Life

Our Emmy Bear

Sunday 24th Mar
Love the impact Emmy has made on so many of us.

Never to small

Sunday 24th Mar
This was the message on the wall in Emmy's room in the hospital

Emmy was her own Care Bear

Sunday 24th Mar
Emmy Bear showed like ve through her actions not words. Penetrating gazes, tongue out smiles, howls, she could share her feelings without even saying a single word in English. Let's share her legacy with our own Care Bear Stares

Thank you to my donors
