This year’s STWM event was full of firsts. For many of you, this was the first time you have participated in a half-marathon or a 5K run, or the first time you have become a fundraiser as part of a team goal. This was also the first time in five years that NYGH has participated in STWM, and we are very proud of our staff and participants for being so engaged in this event. To all of our newcomers and veterans alike: thank you so much for choosing to support North York General as you set these milestones for yourselves!
Our team goal for STWM 2013 was to raise $10,000 in support of our Hospital. I am thrilled to announce that the North York Generals have more than doubled our goal and raised over $25,000! On behalf of NYGH and the patients we serve, I’d like to offer our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported this amazing accomplishment, including our race participants, their sponsors, and our team donors.
The marathon organizers are keeping the fundraising webpages online until October 31st, so if you would like to make an additional contribution or know someone who would be interested in donating, please visit the North York Generals team page to sponsor our team or an individual participant.
In the words of the Sam Roberts Band, “We’re all in this together – so keep it moving, don’t stop!”
