Supporting the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Sinai Health
Why 110 km?
This year we are raising the bar for our 5th annual event to hike 110 km with a goal to raise $30,000.
We are hiking 110 km to represent some of the length of stays families can have in the NICU. Families like Landen's, who stayed in the NICU for 110 days. Today, Landen is a happy and healthy toddler and his family is grateful for the care they received from the NICU team during their lengthy stay.
