Cuts 4 Cardiac Care 2026

Every year, I spend time creating and maintaining pathways along the Hydro Corridor, from The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre to Alta Vista Road, in support of charity.

This year marks Year 5, and the 2026 campaign is proudly titled:

Cuts 4 Cardiac Care – in support of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation

Over the years, some have kindly offered to pay me, but I have never accepted payment for this work. It has always been done voluntarily, with the goal of supporting charitable causes and giving back to the community. Once again, I invite you to pay it forward with a donation to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation. The Heart Institute has given my family the gift of time, and supporting it is deeply personal and meaningful to me. If you have enjoyed the pathways, the beautification, or simply the spirit behind this effort, I hope you will consider making a donation in any amount. Every contribution matters.

Thank you in advance for supporting an institution that is truly dear to my heart.

Enjoy the pathways, and please pay it forward.

Thanks,

Mike // Cuts 4 Cardiac Care 2026

P.S. Thank you for all the smiles, thumbs-up, and waves along the way. They mean just as much to me.
