Last year Waterfront participants raised over $13,000 for North York General Hospital!

Last fall there was a great turn-out from North York General Hospital's staff, friends, and family as 63 runners and walkers from the North York Generals' team participated in the 2007 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

Celebrating over 40 years of embracing the health of our community, the team raised over $13,000 in support of North York General Hospital! In two years, this event has raised almost $30,000 for the hospital!!

From 5km and 10 km runs and walks, to half-marathons and full marathons it was a fun-filled day with great weather, and something for everyone!

In 2007, North York General Hospital honoured to be selected out of almost 40 charities, as one of three featured charities for this event - this was due in huge part to the strong showing and enthusiasm of our team in 2006!

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this event. Whether you were a walker, runner, pledge donor, or attended the day-of to cheer on from the sidelines - we could not have done it without you!

Please join us on September 28th, 2008 for another great year! Each member who registers for the Marathon with the North York Generals' team will receive a special North York General Hospital gift. Also, great prizes will be awarded, once again for our top fundraisers!
