The Story of Avery's Bravery
Avery Bond was born March 13, 2009 and lives in Rockwood, Ontario with her proud parents, Christine and Randy Bond, and her big sister Taylor. Avery had life saving heart surgery at 13 days of age to repair a Coarctation of the aorta (narrowing of the main aortic valve).
After surgery Avery developed swallowing issues due to vocal chord damage and she was sent home two weeks later with a feeding tube in her nose.
This strong little miracle fought back hard and is now a healthy, thriving, beautiful little girl who is full of life and lets nothing stop her from achieving what she wants. We want to celebrate Avery’s 3rd year after heart surgery and give back to Sick Kids Hospital for saving her life. To date $13,000 has been raised! Please celebrate with us and join Avery in her ongoing bravery battle.
What's New for 2012
We have joined Walmart Canada- Guelph stores company match program. Walmart will match every dollar raised for SickKids Hospital.
New sponsor - Tranquil Therapeutic Solutions with their post race massages Obstacle Course by Bulldog Interactive Fitness for Youth Interactive Demos by Tri City Martial Arts.
Participants will be photographed on the course and at the finish line by mysportsshooter and have the opportunity to purchase photos of their race experience. A portion of the photograph sales will go to SickKids.

Update on Avery
Avery recently had her heart checkup with her cardiologist at SickKids Hospital and was given a 2 year all clear. So no more heart checkups for 2 years - quite amazing as Avery had to have checkups every 3 months. Avery also has Turners Syndrome, which causes several other health complications, but Avery is doing well and will be celebrating her 3rd birthday on March 13.
