\u00ab This second edition of Walk 1 Km in my shoes is back in force!\nMore than 30 participants from the Acadie-Bathurst region walked 1 Km in my\nshoes. The financial objective of the 2021 Walk a Kilometer in My Shoes<\/em><\/strong> was to raise $45,000<\/em><\/strong> between the four Acadie-Bathurst foundations. And here we are with a\nresult of more than $69,000 that was raised for our hospitals, the Chaleur Regional Hospital, the Enfant-J\u00e9sus RHSJ<\/strong>\u2020<\/strong> Hospital in\nCaraquet, the Lam\u00e8que Hospital and Community Health Center and the Tracadie\nHospita<\/strong>l. What a great message we are receiving from\nour communities who appreciate and see the importance of getting health care at\nhome first! \u00ab This important fundraiser will allow our hospitals to\npurchase several pieces of equipment. As for me, I can confirm that my\ninvolvement in this cause goes beyond the money raised. I have heard many\ntestimonies from people who have been touched by the illness and the fact that\nthey don’t have to travel to get their care represents a big step in their\nfight against cancer. Donors who have supported us know that 100% of their\ndonation goes towards the purchase of equipment in our hospitals in the Acadie\nBathurst region, and this is very important! \u201cadds Mr. Ronald Losier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The amounts raised by region are:\nChaleur Regional Hospital Foundation $19,513, Fondation H\u00f4pital de\nl’Enfant-J\u00e9sus in Caraquet $21,429, La Fondation de l’H\u00f4pital de Lam\u00e8que Inc. $13,651\nand La Fondation Les Amis de l’H\u00f4pital de Tracadie $14,548 for a total of\n$69,142.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the participants, according to Mario\nGriffin who was very involved in the cause, “To walk in someone’s shoes is\nto put yourself in their shoes, especially for the person fighting cancer. It\nis an ordeal, a stress and a burden that should not be carried alone. Together with their families and loved ones,\nthe people affected receive this support, but the community can also act. And\nthat is why I got involved through this fundraiser. It’s a way to ease the\nburden to ensure access to services at home first. I did it for the cause and\nin memory of people who left us too soon.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walk a Kilometer in My Shoes is an activity organized as part of the\nRoses Radiothon, an event organized by the four Acadie-Bathurst Hospital\nFoundations. It aims to raise awareness\nabout the fight against cancer while raising funds to improve cancer screening\nand treatment services at our regional hospital and to support the Acadian\nPeninsula institutions in their specific needs.

The 2022\nRoses Radiothon<\/em> will take place on April 29<\/em> thanks to its partners, L’Acadie\nNouvelle, CKLE, CKRO and BOUNCE Radio 104.9.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n BATHURST– The second edition of Walk a Kilometer in My Shoes took place during the month of October, Breast Cancer….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2695"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2695"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2704,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2695\/revisions\/2704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationhopitallameque.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} <\/h1>\n\n\n\n
