Heroes Run for Healthcare around the corner

25/4/2025

The annual Heroes Run for Healthcare, presented by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories is returning on Sunday, May 4th! This charity event will take place in Downtown Pembroke and includes the 2K Superhero Run for kids 12 and under, brought to you by Bradley Law and a 5K timed run brought to you by MacEwen’s.

 

Leigh Costello, PRHF Community Fundraising Specialist says, “This year’s event will support the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation’s highest priority equipment needs.”

 

Event Chair, Scott Coombes says “There will be amazing prizes to be won for your fundraising efforts.” Those who raise $100 or more will be entered in a draw for a one-year family membership for the Best Western Pembroke Pool.
 
The top overall fundraiser will win a $500 prize. Mr. Coombes adds, “Participants can make use of the online fundraising tools to share and raise pledges easily online.”

 

Organizer of the kids’ run, Tammy Blackmore states, “Grab your superhero costume and embrace your super powers, all while making a difference. Meet many of your favourite superheroes during our 2km themed family run. You will receive a bag at the start line to collect treats from Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Super Girl and many other superheroes and friends along the route.
 
When you complete your 2k mission, you will receive a superhero cape.”
