Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

On my trip to Haiti last April, we identified, Fannie, a baby who needed complex colorectal surgery. The local surgeons could not help her and we did not carry the proper specialized equipment to address it.  We worked the better part of 6 months to send another team to address her condition along with dozens of other waiting children.

Sadly, she passed away before the team arrived. I am running this 5k because I want to support Dr. Shin and her on-going efforts to train local pediatric surgeons and help elevate the standards of surgical care so that no other children die waiting for someone to help give them a chance at a healthy life.

Your support, no matter what size, will make a difference. If you reside in Canada and chose to help me on this quest, please visit www.HCAS.CA and please refer to Mending Kids on the donate page. 

Otherwise, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to Mending Kids. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for us.
