Let's get Amir to the care he needs.

This September, my team and I are pulling a 67,000 lb Dash 8 aircraft 100 metres across the tarmac, just the ten of us, a rope, and a lot of determination. It's hard. It's a little ridiculous. And every single metre is for kids like Amir.

It's called Haul for Hope, and it's Hope Air's national plane-pull challenge. But it's about so much more than the pull. It raises money for one simple, beautiful thing: getting Canadians to the medical care they need, no matter how far away it is.

Because here's the thing most of us never have to think about: for thousands of families, the nearest specialist is hours, sometimes days, away. And when getting there costs more than they have, treatment gets delayed. Or skipped entirely.

1 in 3 Hope Air patients say they'd cancel or postpone care without this help.

That's the gap Hope Air closes. They cover the flights, the hotel, the meals, the rides, so no family ever has to choose between getting better and going broke. That's why I'm pulling.
