Many may know Sean Burnett as a Registered Nurse and Team Leader at WDMH, but he’s also a Lumberjack!
Throughout the month of May, Sean participated in the Ottawa Race Weekend virtual event, raising funds for the WDMH Foundation and awareness about the impact of cancer. He completed 2K, 5K, 10K and 50K runs.
Recently, Sean presented a cheque for $4,120 to the WDMH Foundation. He says he was grateful to everyone for their support: “I realize running a few kilometres and raising a few bucks is not going to cure cancer.
Maybe though it will buy a comfortable chair for someone to sit in while they receive their chemotherapy, maybe it will go towards a new x-ray machine that will help make faster more reliable diagnoses, or maybe it will go towards providing education for nurses in palliative care so that they may provide comfort when it is needed most.”
“We knew Sean was up for the challenge and the results speak for themselves,” notes Cindy Ault Peters, Manager of Direct Mail and Events at the WDMH Foundation. “WDMH has an amazing team and Sean is one of the best. Thanks so much Sean – for all those runs on behalf of health care close to home!”
