I’m participating in Give a Shift, an event to honour the hard work and dedication of the healthcare heroes at UHN. I am participating in this event in honour of Dr. Gonzalo Sapisochin and Dr. Mark Cattral, two incredible surgeons who took great care of family.
Since the start of the pandemic, they have been working harder than ever to keep our community safe and healthy.
In honour of these healthcare heroes, I am going to spend 12 hours of my time, the length of a typical shift at the hospital, challenging myself and showing everyone I Give a Shift!
Brooks, Coco and I will be doing 12 acts of kindness over the course of the weekend so show much we care. Some examples include:
1. Safely picking up garbage in the neighbourhood
2. Donate items to the Food Bank
3. Leave positive notes of appreciation on neighbours mailboxes
4. Start a pay it forward train in a drive-thru
5. Call someone and tell them you love them and tell them why
6. Surprise a friend with flowers on their porch
7. Give genuine compliments to random strangers
8. Bring dog and cat food to the local animal shelter
9. Plant a tree in the ravine behind my house
10. Become an organ donor
11. Give blood
12. Donate unused Air Miles to UHN Foundation
More importantly, I need your help to raise funds for Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation that will support groundbreaking research, state-of-the art technology and world-class patient care at UHN, and make lives better in our community and around the globe.
Show your gratitude by making a donation today to my fundraising page and help me reach my goal. If you would like to join me in participating in #UHNGiveAShift - let me know and we can create a team!!!
Please make a gift today!
