Hi everyone,
I’m participating in Give a Shift, an event to honour the hard work and dedication of the healthcare heroes at UHN. Toronto General Hospital, where I received my lifesaving LVAD and Transplant surgeries and care, is part of the University Health Network (UHN). I know they have been working harder than ever to keep the transplant and regular communities safe and healthy, since the start of the pandemic and onward. In honour of these healthcare heroes, on Friday April 30th, I am going to spend 12 hours of my time, the length of a typical shift at the hospital, challenging myself and showing everyone I Give a Shift! I can Give a Shift because of them!
I will be posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as my 'Shift' progresses so please take a peak! I am participating as a member of the LVAD Pump Pal Team with two transplant friends who have shared the same journey as me. So, if you would like to encourage me, my pump pals and those incredible healthcare workers out there, please consider making a donation today to my fundraising page and help me reach my goal. All funds raised will support groundbreaking research, state-of-the art technology and world-class patient care at UHN, making lives better here and around the globe.
Thanks!
Janet
