To my fellow cancer survivors, I want to point out that the Princess Margaret Hospital portal now has an option for Ontario Labs. You can get your local test results rather quickly by using your PMH portal login. If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thank you to Richard Bosch from Stride Orthopaedics for the handy tips for being sure that your footwear is in good working order. We don't want people to injure themselves walking to support our event. Please like and share this post to as many people as you can.

Help support this event because everyone knows someone with cancer.
