St.Amant Foundation’s annual Santa Ride was held in loving memory of Drew Murray, the son of St.Amant Foundation Board Chair Craig Murray last weekend. Drew lived an exceptionally full and deeply loved life. He brought joy and laughter to everyone around him — his family, friends, classmates, and caregivers — and he and his family benefitted greatly from the care and support they received at St.Amant.
On December 13, Team goBert embraced the Winnipeg winter chill and took to the trails on their fat-tired bikes at Southwood Golf and Country Club, coming together with a shared purpose: to make a meaningful difference for children and families supported by St.Amant.
This year’s Santa Ride raised funds to purchase an eye gaze communication device for Dalen, who has recently started school and needs new technology to help him communicate. An eye gaze device will allow Dalen to connect with his teachers and fellow students, giving him a voice in the classroom and beyond.
Thanks to the generosity of participants and supporters, more than $20,000 was raised — meeting the goal to fully fund the purchase of this vital device.
“We so appreciate team goBert and all they do to raise funds for the Foundation,” said Tania Douglas, St.Amant Foundation’s Executive Director. “I’m always so inspired by how our donors bring creativity and energy to raising money for the Foundation. And in this case, a little Santa sparkle as well!”
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Team goBert, and especially to Craig Murray, Pierre Campeau, and George Vis, for their leadership, dedication, and for making this year’s Santa Ride and brunch such a meaningful success. Their commitment continues to honour Drew’s memory while creating lasting impact for others.
