Many may be aware of my open heart surgery in November last year, where I under went replacement of my aortic valve. Recovery was slow and somewhat painful but has left me feeling much better. I certainly need to be very thankful to my family doctor, my cardiologist, my cardiac surgeon and the entire staff at the Cardiac unit at Southlake.
Every Monday evening, I attend a Cardiac Rehab program at the Magna Centre in Newmarket. Staff from the cardiac rehab program are there to monitor our progress and encourage changes in your life style to improve your health. I am completing 3 kilometers in just over 30 minutes every Monday.
A sponsorship event is being held on Thursday May 9th at the Magna centre to raise money for this rehab program. I have set a personal goal of walking 5 miles in 90 minutes.
Your financial support of this program would be greatly appreciated. For every dollar donated, I will match an additional 25%.
