Story

Please help me raise $$$ to support Operation Owatz 2023. I participated in 2022 for my first time, and was successful in raising over $700 for the campaign, thanks to the generosity of local friends and colleagues. And, the campaign kept me moving every day!

Dr. Todd Owatz was a dedicated surgeon at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH). He supported his patients health journey by advising them to use fitness, wellbeing and movement as a means to get and stay well. He passed away on Oct 15, 2020.

This movement challenge, over 6 weeks of activity, has motivated many people to start or boost their own fitness journeys.

Since 2021, over $70,000 has been raised for the KBRH Ambulatory Care Unit, where Dr. Owatz worked. In 2023, the goal is $30,000 to support the purchase of medical equipment in the Surgical Unit.

Please make a donation today, through my fundraising page or through any participant's page! And, you can start you own fundraising page too!
