I am participating in the 4th annual Scotiabank Bed Race fundraising challenge, in support of Trillium Health Partners.

With your participation in the Scotiabank Bed Race, we can create a new kind of health care for a healthier community. Every dollar raised will support our highest funding priorities at Trillium Health Partners.

Located in the heart of one of Canada’s largest, fastest-growing, and most diverse urban areas, Trillium Health Partners (comprised of three sites: Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga Hospital and Queensway Health Centre) faces unique challenges from increasing patient volumes and a large population with complex chronic diseases.

Mississauga’s population will grow by 63 per cent by 2035, an increase of over 650,000 people—including a 50 per cent growth in children and 175 per cent surge in seniors. Trillium Health Partners had over 1.6 million patient visits last year—the highest patient volumes in Ontario. In other words, THP helps more patients—and more often—than any other Ontario hospital. Imagine where we’ll be in 25 years.

Please make a donation today and help us reach our fundraising goal! Every gift counts.

I hope you can also join us on Sunday, June 5, 2016 to cheer on our team at the Bed Race and enjoy the family festivities.
