This year, I'm looking forward to joining Ottawa Race Weekend for the first time (!), where I'll be running the 5k in support of Perley Health Foundation.

I was thrilled to join the Perley Health Foundation team earlier this year as their Development Manager. In this role I get to connect with community groups, companies, and individuals who all want to help Seniors and Veterans live life to the fullest at the Perley. I'm also lucky enough to get to connect with our residents every day and hear about their incredible life stories, as well as their daily activities at the Perley. From art classes and concerts to weekly ice cream days and afternoons in the pub, it's been wonderful so far to see how much our residents are enjoying every day, and be a small part of making that possible.

What is Perley Health Foundation?

Through storytelling and relationship building, we empower an engaged donor community to transform the quality of life of Seniors and Veterans.

This year, all funds raised by Team Perley Health will contribute towards Bridging Generations, one of the first purpose-built intergenerational childcare spaces in Canada. This innovative new space within Perley Health will bring Seniors, Veterans, and children together for shared learning opportunities and play.

Thank you for your support of this important cause!
