Mother's Day Run & Walk Fundraiser

Hello Everyone!

Donovan, Talulah and I will be participating in the 2009 Mother's Day Run & Walk put on by The Forzani Group Foundation in support of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Foothills Medical Centre, and the Special Care Nurseries at the Rockyview General Hospital and the Peter Lougheed Centre here in Calgary. This is a great fundraiser for an amazing cause.

Please see below for more details.

"For over 31 years, The Forzani Group Foundation has been supporting healthcare in our community. In that time more than $2.2 million has been raised, making a significant impact in the lives of many patients and families who access healthcare at our hospitals.

In 2008, $200,000 was raised and directed to children's health in support of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Foothills Medical Centre, and the Special Care Nurseries at the Rockyview General Hospital and the Peter Lougheed Centre.

In 2009, The Forzani Group Foundation will continue their commitment of supporting this very important area of children's health by purchasing hybred bed warmers, which can convert to an incubator, and provide easy access to perform procedures while mimimally disturbing the infant. Proceeds will also purchase Cardiac Monitors and Triple Channel intravenous pumps. The monitors will observe infants' vital signs, including heart rate and blood pressure which the pumps will allow staff to administer three separate fluids simultaneously through one pump.

This equipment will allow staff to continue delivering exceptional care to the special little patients in our Calgary hospitals."
