🎉 We did it, Georgetown! This was our biggest Walk or Run for Georgetown Hospital yet, raising over $144,000, including a $20,000 match from a generous anonymous donor!

Thanks to this incredible community, we broke records across the board:
👟 415 participants and 42 teams, our highest turnout ever
🤝 22 sponsors, a record number of local businesses and community partners
💙 Over $144,000 raised, the most we've ever received in a single year

Every dollar raised supports care right here in our community, helping the patients, families and health care teams who count on Georgetown Hospital every day.

To everyone who laced up, showed up and gave back: THANK YOU. We couldn't be prouder of this community.

Last March, Tracie Harrison came to Georgetown Hospital's ER with severe abdominal pain.

The team moved fast: bloodwork, an ECG, an ultrasound that caught an acute gallbladder attack in time for same-day surgery.

It wasn't her first time relying on this ER. She's been treated here before, for a heart attack and a knee replacement.

Stories like Tracie's show why emergency care funding matters for the whole hospital, not just the ER. When more patients come through emergency, more people need surgical and diagnostic care across every department. 🏥

Georgetown Hospital's ER visits are up 6% year over year, with nearly 34,000 visits last year alone.

We need your help to fund emergency department upgrades so we can continue to provide extraordinary care for our community. 💙

A huge thank you to the Rosemary Road Gang, a group of young community members who spent their summer running a lemonade stand to support healthcare in our community!

Their $300 contribution shows how much heart and effort a great idea can carry, and it will help provide care for patients right here in Georgetown.

Thank you for showing up for Georgetown hospital, one cup at a time. 💛

It takes a community to put on an event like this, and our Silver Sponsors are a huge part of ours! Thank you to Legendary Motorcar Company, BROOKS HEATING AND AIR, Boardwalk Law LLP, and Mountainview Residence.

Because of partners like you, Georgetown Hospital can keep showing up for our patients, day in and day out 💚

We're thrilled to have Atlas Ironworks return this year to sponsor the 1K accessible route, a favourite for seniors, families, and anyone looking for a shorter, more accessible way to take part.

This year, they're also switching things up by sponsoring moose stuffies instead of our usual teddy bears, giving participants a fun new keepsake to take home 🫎

Thank you, Atlas Ironworks, for your continued support and for helping make this event welcoming for everyone! 🫶
