Supporting Mighty Kids!

Grateful. Blessed. Thankful. I associate these three words with BC Children’s Hospital because they saved my lil grandson’s life. When his Dads took him to the hospital on January 1st, 2021, it was the very quick actions of the cardiac care team who recognized his condition. He was then scheduled for open heart surgery to repair a mitral valve defect he had been born with 4 months earlier. Sasha, with his Dads by his side, was mighty! For the past 3 years, I have walked as part of ‘The Clarkers’ team – Chad, Matt and Sasha. This year, even though the other three members have moved to London, UK, I am carrying on the tradition and will be walking in the RBC Race for the Kids-4K on June 9th in Victoria, BC. This walk is to raise funds to continue the advancement of care for children throughout BC, providing crucial support to the wide range of medical programs at BC Children’s Hospital.

You can support me by making a secure online donation to my fundraising page.

It is the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to children. Almost one million kids count on BC Children’s Hospital. Your donation will help ensure they receive the best possible health care when they need it. Specifically, it will help advance innovative research and support programs that comfort kids and families when it’s needed most.

Thank you in advance for your generous support!

Be well!  #bcchildrenshospital #rbcraceforthekids #hearthealthy #nanalove #acrossthemiles.

Rain or Shine the Walk Goes On...

Monday 3rd Jun
No matter the weather, lil Sasha was out with his umbrella walking for BC Children's Hospital. This photo is from my calendar and reminds me every day in June how very blessed I am to have a healthy grandson who is curious, creative, cute and clever. To those who have contributed to my goal - huge thanks! I am very close to my goal which I believe can be reached by the end of this week, in time for Walk/Run Day on June 9th! Care to help me get there?
