Welcome to My Fundraising Page!
I’m taking part in the UBC Run & Ride for Rural Medicine to help patients get to life-saving medical care.
Why? Because, all Canadians should have equal access to medical care, but not everyone does. For those who live in communities that do not offer specialized care, cost and distance are huge barriers to reaching medical treatments and appointments.
Funds raised will allow Hope Air to provide free medical travel for patients in financial need.
The pandemic has not stopped cancer, heart disease, or any of the other serious illnesses requiring urgent care. Now more than ever, patients struggle to get to medical care due to financial hardship. Families should not have to choose between medical care, food, and rent, but many will have to make those choices without your help.
Please consider making as generous a donation as you can. No matter the amount, your contribution is a gift that will help patients get to the medical care they need.
Your gift of $250 provides a one-way flight for a patient, your gift of $500 provides a one-way flight for a parent and their child, or your gift of $1,000 provides a return-flight for a parent and their child.
Please support me by donating to my page right now and you can give hope to a patient in need.
Thank you,
P.S. Please share this page with any friends you think might be interested in giving hope to patients in need.
About Hope Air
About Hope Air
All too often, barriers of cost and distance prevent patients from getting specialized medical care in expensive cities far from home. But this barrier must be overcome; delays in treatment can cause unnecessary pain, untreated disease and permanent disability.
Hope Air is Canada's only national charity providing free travel and accommodations for Canadians in financial need who must access specialized medical care far from home.
In 1986, our first flight enabled a patient to travel for cancer treatment. Since then, Hope Air has arranged more than 160,000 travel arrangements for patients of any age, with any illness that is covered by the patients’ provincial health plans.
Hope Air has been chosen as one of Canada's best 100 charities by Maclean's magazine, MoneySense magazine and Charity Intelligence based on efficiency, transparency and need.
