GREY HIGHLANDS GRAN FONDO EXCEEDS FUNDRAISING GOAL!

The 2025 Grey Highlands Gran Fondo was an incredible success, raising $125,000—well above our $80,000 goal!

With 236 riders, some travelling from as far as Nunavut, California, and Texas, and the support of 80 dedicated volunteers, the event showcased the amazing spirit of our community.

A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors, especially JD Smith Logistic Solutions, our lead sponsor and top fundraising team. Congratulations to Mary Breedon, our top individual fundraiser this year.

This tremendous support will help the CGHS Foundation continue providing essential equipment and care at the Brightshores Health Systems, Markdale Hospital.

Thank you for helping us raise $432,486 to date!

Markdale Hospital

The 68,000 square foot facility offers 24/7 Emergency Department care, a full Diagnostic Imaging Department, Ambulatory Care, Physiotherapy, full Laboratory services, as well as four Ambulance Bays. But with that comes the need for funding. Medical equipment is ever-changing, and we must ensure our equipment remains up to date. With the community responsible for 100% of all costs for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, fundraisers such as our Gran Fondo are IMPERATIVE to ensure that our staff have what they need to provide superior health care close to home. Thank you for participating in our Gran Fondo—YOUR fundraising efforts will have a long-lasting impact on many!
