LiUNA Goes the Distance for St. Joseph's Healthcare Foundation
St. Joseph Healthcare is a pillar of hope in the Hamilton Community, home to some of the best medical practitioners in North America. St Joe's holds a special place in my heart as I, as well as my children were born here. I have personally experienced the tremendous treatment St Joseph's offers which is why I was honoured to be named the 2018 Community Champion for the Around the Bay Road Race where Team LiUNA raised over $285 000 in support of St Joe's Healthcare Foundation. Thank you to all of the Supporters, Leaders, Runners, Walkers, Brothers and Sisters. We could not have done this without your support!! We went the distance and next year we hope you will join us.
Feel the Power!
Happy Holidays Brothers and Sisters, to you and your families. Have a Happy, Safe Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
