Strides for Students: The Nanji Foundation Nursing Walk

Did you know that nurses walk an average of eight kilometres in a 12-hour shift?

Nurses are essential to our healthcare system, providing not only physical care but also emotional support and public health guidance to patients and their families. As the demand for healthcare rises, so does the need for nurses.

To address this crisis and to ensure that our healthcare system can provide the level of care needed now and, in the future, we must act. This is why Seneca, with the support of the Nanji Family Foundation, has launched the Nanji Foundation Community Challenge.

We're inviting our community to participate in an eight-kilometre step challenge to raise funds for the Nanji Foundation Bursary in Nursing. This bursary will support Seneca nursing students, helping to address the ongoing shortage of nurses in Ontario's healthcare system.

When our goal of $5,000 is met, the Nanji Family Foundation will contribute an additional $5,000.

Date: Fundraise through May and June 2023. Step up Friday, June 16 to Sunday, June 18, 2023.
