I’m doing a Cold Plunge marathon to take action for women’s health
I’m fundraising to help Sinai Health build a world-leading Centre for Mature Women’s Health. I'm going to spend all day on December 1 jumping in and out of a 10 degree pool as part of their Hot and Bothered Challenge.
Menopause isn't a joke about hot flashes. Menopause and perimenopause affect nearly half of the world's population, with profound effects on countless aspects of physical and mental health, as well as on 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.
