Renal Patients at Penticton Regional Hospital come in for dialysis three times a week and some are cycling up to six hours a week during treatment. In keeping with the spirit of Penticton as a city that encourages people to stay active and fit, especially as the home of the Subaru Ironman Canada triathlon (recently cancelled for 2020), a challenge has been issued!

Athletes and would-be athletes are challenged to commit to 8 weeks of doing 4, 6 or 8 hours of either swimming, biking or walk/running each week. The challenge runs Sunday July 5 to Sunday August 30th, 2020. Like those with kidney failure and on dialysis there isn't the option of missing a week.

 

Kidney failure affects many in Canada. At Penticton Regional Hospital people who need to be on blood dialysis machines 3 times a week have found that spinning on a portable cycling machine is a wonderful way to pass the time and improve their health.

Whether you are in training for a running, cycling, triathlon event or just want to commit to getting fit this summer, please register and indicate how may hours you are committed to each week between July 5th and August 30th. Then reach out to your friends and family and gather pledges to raise money.

Proceeds from money raised goes to fund medical equipment and new cycling machines for our Renal Department at Penticton Regional Hospital.

There are no big prizes for your success in completing the challenge other than you benefiting from being fit and helping a wonderful cause.
