Jonathan Oldenburger is one of the runners who went the distance on Saturday to give back to the Kitchener hospital that gave him back his passion.
Oldenburger started "Heart Run for Healthcare" and plotted a 50-kilometre route around St. Mary's General Hospital in the shape of a heart. “When someone comes forward and does something like this for us, it's like someone standing there applauding what we're doing at St. Mary's in order to care for the community,” says Susan Dusick, president, St. Mary's General Hospital Foundation.
“It’s hot outside and it’s definitely played a factor, we’re a little bit slower than we wanted but that’s ok,” says Hughes.“I work as a critical care physician at St. Mary’s and Grand River and have been working at both sites during the pandemic,” she says.
Can someone do a route for me? I also do my job I’m paid to do, everyday.

So does vitamin D. Thank God no vaccine manufacturer can be sued lol.... The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program was created in the 1980s, after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages. Isn't that something that we all receive as children? If we had the vaccine then why are people still getting the carona virus in that case?
