Turning fifty and hearing “the buzz” from her clients about the CT Scanner has motivated Kim Stapleton to direct her fundraising efforts to the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Foundation’s Crossroads Campaign.

With her fiftieth birthday on the horizon, she has suggested to her guests that in lieu of gifts, please donate to the CT Scanner. At her party there will be a cash box and online devices to make donations or guests may gift online in advance of her party.

Kim shared that she was a qualified Personal Trainer and Aquafit Instructor prior to her current twenty-six-year career as a policewoman. She has requalified her fitness credentials over the last seven years and operates a Fitness Studio in Kemptville. This summer she is also instructing aquafit in the Kemptville Pool. She explained, “it’s fun for me! Fitness is my passion.”

Another CT Scanner fundraising event she is planning is Step Aerobics which will be held in the upper-level parking lot at KDH on August 18, 8:30 am. “Please save the date!” she said.  A Donation Box will be available for participants.

On Thanksgiving Weekend, October 14, Kim will be spinning on her bike for six incredible hours! Others can join her for one-hour sessions (or more) on one of the nine bikes she has available in her Fitness Studio. Everyone donates into a big jar, including members of her family – and pledge by the minute or hour or however they wish.

In the past, Kim has directed her fundraising efforts to Parkinsons, Cancer and the Beth Donovan Hospice. She explained that her choices were prompted by personal connections to the charities.

This year, she wants to help support the CT Scanner. She knows that this diagnostic tool will be a great asset to the growing North Grenville community where she has lived for nine years, and it will save long trips to other hospitals for patients who need a CT Scan.

Joanne Mavis, Executive Director, KDH Foundation commented: “We are delighted that Kim has chosen to support the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign! Every donation brings us closer to our goal of bringing better and urgent care close to home.”
