I am so excited to share with you that in April 2018 - I will embark on an Adventure of a Lifetime to Trek Everest!

Markham Stouffville Hospital serves a fast-growing neighbourhood and needs a new operating room (OR) to meet the needs of the community. So for 14 days, from April 24 to May 8 - I will join a dedicated group of MSH supporters, physicians, colleagues and friends to journey from Kathmandu, Nepal through the Himilayas up to Base Camp on Mount Everest - the HIGHEST mountain in the world!

This Adventure of a Lifetime celebrates the 65th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hilary's ascent to the top, and will be accompanied by his son Peter Hilary. 

Trek Everest will certainly be no easy feat. But to ensure a successful adventure, I ask you to make a tax-deductible gift to support my fundraising efforts to ensure the highest quality care for the MSH community - for generations to come. 

The need is becoming acute for a new, hybrid OR equipped for fluoroscopy. This important surgical tool uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images and is essential for angiograms, angioplasties, urological and cardiac interventions and many other procedures. The result will be increased capacity for surgical procedures, decreased wait times and, through its design and larger dimensions, the new OR will be flexible and allow grow for future equipment expansion. 

Government cannot fund all priority equipment and technology needs, that is why your generous support is so vital and appreciated! 

Please join me in this adventure by making a donation today to help me reach my fundraising goal. Please note, that I am also able to accept offline donations and cheques payable to Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation, kindly contact me directly for details. 

The adventure begins...
