24 February 2021
For the ScotiaBank Charity Challenge 2021, the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (HMR) Foundation invites you to run for Dr. François Marquis and the Together for the HMR Fund.
Donations for COVID patients
The funds raised will provide the Hospital with physiotherapy equipment, such as smart pedal exercisers, to help fight muscle loss in bedridden patients, because, yes, even for hospitalized patients, it is important to be active!
What’s a smart pedal exercisers? It’s a simulator allowing bedridden patients to make movements like on a bicycle, without leaving their bed.
From April 23 to June 14, 2021, let’s run for him, the Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont and its patients!
