Run for Mackayla
Donation protected
Dear Family, Friends, and Colleagues
I’m writing to tell you that my good friend Keith O’Brien and I are in the process of doing something bold in the upcoming year.
Keith will be participating in a full marathon (42km) in Fredericton, N.B., on the 8 May, in hopes of qualifying for the 2017 Boston Marathon.
I will be running the Halifax Bluenose half marathon, on the 22 May (21km), in my full fire fighter bunker gear and SCBA.
Why would we consider inflicting such grueling punishment on our bodies?? Well, because the rewards are infinitely better!
Meet Mackayla
Mackayla has stolen our hearts. She was born with severe health issues and spent the first 2 months of her life at the IWK hospital in Halifax, N.S. Doctors determined she had an underdeveloped brain. Even the best Neurologist could not say exactly what this would mean for her. At the time, they didn't even know if little Mackayla would survive the weekend.
You can make a difference!!
Although battling many health issues, Mackayla has become a bright and strong little girl. She is still so young and has already been faced with a life time of adversity and struggles, but that doesn’t change her attitude, or outlook on life.
We need your help and support!!
Mackayla is in need of several different types of medical devices to assist in her development. Needless to say, these devices are expensive, and her mom (Melissa) is at home full time to care for little Mackayla.
We can’t do it without you!!
Please support us and make a donation today.
