This August, Megan Wheatley will lace up her hiking boots, take a deep breath and begin a life-affirming trek up Mount Kilimanjaro—the highest mountain in Africa. 

For Megan, the climb isn’t just about reaching the 19,341-foot summit. It’s a symbolic journey—a way to honour how far she’s come since surviving a traumatic brain injury at the age of 17. It’s also a powerful fundraiser in support of Community Brain Injury Services (CBIS) at Providence Care.

This year's prostate cancer research fund recipient is Dr. John Allingham.

UHKF would like to remind the public that it is hosting a door-to-door campaign at the moment. They are trained, professional canvassers visiting neighbourhoods throughout Kingston.

Barb Brown settles into her chair at the Belleville Dialysis Clinic, adjusting the chair with the push of a button. “These new chairs are just so much more comfortable,” the 72-year-old says. “You just kind of melt into them.”

For Barb and the other 90 patients who rely on this clinic three times a week, four hours at a time, comfort is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. The new chairs, funded by generous donors, have made an incredible difference in their experience.
