Reshmi’s Hot & Bothered Funraging Page

By Reshmi Bisessar

I’m taking the Hot and Bothered Challenge to take action for women’s health

I’m fundraising to help Sinai Health build a world-leading Centre for Mature Women’s Health.

Menopause and perimenopause affect nearly half of the world's population, with effects that ripple beyond personal health into relationships, workplaces, and even the global economy. Despite its wide reach, menopause remains shrouded in stigma and misunderstanding.

Sinai Health is ready to change that. The Centre for Mature Women’s Health will be the most comprehensive centre of its kind in the world, designed to address the full spectrum of health challenges that women face as they age.

I’ve decided to take The Hot and Bothered Challenge and make my splash towards women’s health equity. While I challenge myself to cool off, I would love if you can help heat up my efforts by donating what you can!

Together, we can help close the gaps in women’s health care.

Why this is importantl!

Wednesday 20th Nov
Next week I’ll be taking a dip in Lower Buckhorn  lake. I’m a  little nervous but realize that by making a small sacrifice I’ll be contributing to support the creation of a centre for mature women’s health at mount Sinai hospital. Canada will have more than 10 million women over the age of 50 by next year and yet wait times to see a  menopause specialist can be up to 2 years. It’s time to advocate for women’s health and have conversations about things that may make us feel uncomfortable or alone in this. There are 39 symptoms associated with menopause. Which is insane! The new centre will be the most comprehensive centre of its kind in the world and it will be designed to address the full spectrum of the health issues we face as we get older. 

Let’s stop the stigma and start the conversations. Menopause will affect us all in some way either directly or indirectly as your mothers, daughters, partners go through it. 

Thank you to my supporters
