I had the best time doing these walks this month. I walked 437 km and went through a pair of shoes. So many great moments. Thanks to all for your support! ❤️❤️

Transplant Anniversary!

Sunday 22nd Feb
15 years ago today, Hannah’s mom donated her kidney. A huge event. Dear friends of ours let us live in their Forest Hill condo, and it made all the difference. Privileged to walk those steps today. Everyone was involved, including Hannah’s excellent brother Zach ❤️❤️

Let’s keep going!

As I log steps beyond 300k, I want to thank the fantastic donors to this cause. They are family and friends, awesome neighbours, work and university colleagues.. and even Hannah’s amazing SK doctor. Thank you all! Also - a tribute to my city. I love its streets, and more importantly, what it has meant to my family’s wellbeing. Pic here is my most beloved granddaughter Poppy ❤️

Early morning walk

Saturday 14th Feb
I ❤️ the Port Lands. The centrepiece is Ookwemin Minising island. It is gorgeous, especially in the summer. If you haven’t been, do it!

On your mark, get set..

Beautiful morning breaking in TO! (Perfect walking temperature for me.) I’m layered up, and hitting the street! Here we go!

I’m walking for SickKids. It’s personal!

Saturday 24th Jan
Hi everyone. I’m a participant in SickKids February Step Challenge to raise awareness and funds for the SK Foundation. In addition to being an important cause, it’s also a personal one. 

My daughter, Hannah, was a patient at SickKids for 18 years, diagnosed with a rare disease at 10 months. The fact that a doctor at SK was even familiar with the condition in 1995 and diagnosed it is beyond lottery odds. At the time of her diagnosis, her prognosis was uncertain to say the least. Her medical challenges have been numerous, culminating in a kidney transplant in 2011. Fast forward to today, she’ll be 32 this year! This is in huge part owing to her care at SK. She’s now a patient at TGH and the UHN network. She truly has world renowned care, thanks to this city.

My goal is to walk 300,000 steps in February. (Piece of cake, right?!) I love the cold so I’m looking forward to the challenge and I’ll update everyone on my progress here. I really appreciate anyone taking the time to read this, and for your support of the SickKids Foundation.

See you on the streets of TO!

Thank you to my Donors
