RBC Run for the Kids celebrates its second year<br />

The RBC Run for the Kids celebrated<br />

its second year, raising $1.9 million for<br />

<strong>Sunnybrook</strong>’s Family Navigation Project.<br />

The proceeds helped young people<br />

affected by mental illness <strong>and</strong> addictions<br />

– <strong>and</strong> their families – to get the help they<br />

so urgently need. The run drew more than<br />

7,100 participants, making it the fourth<br />

largest running event in Toronto.<br />

L<strong>and</strong>mark donation for brain sciences<br />

A $20-million donation, earmarked for the<br />

Hurvitz Brain Sciences Centre, will allow<br />

<strong>Sunnybrook</strong> to link experts in each field<br />

of brain sciences in an effort to accelerate<br />

research <strong>and</strong> slow the progress of brain<br />

disorders. Along with the naming of the<br />

Centre, <strong>Sunnybrook</strong>’s brain sciences<br />

program was renamed the Hurvitz Brain<br />

Sciences Program. The Centre will<br />

combine a renovation of <strong>Sunnybrook</strong>’s<br />

existing F-wing with a new building of<br />

the same size alongside it.<br />
