The Markham Stouffville Hospital Legacy 5K Run/Walk is a FUN event for the whole community! Now in its 13th year, the Legacy 5k Run/Walk welcomes over 3,000 participants, ranging from serious runners and recreational walkers to families, corporations and school children. This event is strongly rooted in our communities and well supported by local media, businesses and the Hospital. Proceeds from the Legacy Run benefit patients in our Maternal/Child unit, which provides specialized care to mothers, newborn babies and paediatric patients through a family-centred interdisciplinary model of care. Funds from this years run will support the neonatal intensive care unit to ensure more newborns receive access to intensive care, close to home. Of the approximately 3,000 babies delivered at Markham Stouffville each year, about three per cent require admission to the special care nursery to receive critical care for special medical needs, or because they are born prematurely. Our goal is to get new moms and babies home as soon as possible, to give our tiniest and most vulnerable patients a healthy and happy start to life.

Get outdoors with your friends and family, participate in fun activities, and help support Kids Help Phone - Canada's only free, 24-hour, bilingual and anonymous phone and online counselling, referral and information service for children and youth. Every dollar raised goes directly to Kids Help Phone to ensure that professional counsellors can be there, 24/7, to provide the support and hope kids need and deserve.
