Currently, 1.5 million Canadian youth are living with childhood obesity which is a significant public health concern. Moreover, childhood obesity tends to persist into adulthood and is the leading cause of chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Children Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM) is the nation-wide leader in investigating, preventing, and treating obesity in children. This September 2023 marks the quarter century milestone of my life, and I would like to use this opportunity to raise funds for the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.

I invite you to celebrate my 25th birthday by donating. Together, we can support child health and child health research in Canada.
