10-year Anniversary of the 9runrun First Responders Charity Race

Posted by Oegema on Oct 10, 2019 in Company Announcements

The 9runrun event has helped raise awareness and funds for mental health initiatives in our community for a many years. Now in its 10th year, the funds raised by 9runrun participants and their donors, will support the Ottawa First Responders Foundation.

Mental health issues among police, firefighters and paramedics are an issue that must be addressed and talked about. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a frightening and increasingly common occurrence for first responders on the job. In fact, first responders are at least twice as likely to suffer PTSD compared to the general population. It can be devastating for those suffering from mental health issues when they do not have proper support. Adding to the issues is the stigma that still exists surrounding mental illness. We encourage you to participate in the event or consider donating to this very worthwhile cause.

This Year’s Events

Join the men and women of Ottawa’s Fire, Police and Paramedic service in the event that best suits your physical ability. All proceeds will be going towards the Ottawa First Responders Foundation. There will be three events taking place on Saturday, October 19, 2019, including:

Half-Marathon: Run a half marathon that includes parts of the Trans Canada Trail which promises to show off the last of Ontario’s brilliant fall colours. Start time: 9:15 am (walkers start at 8:00 am)

"I would like to thank Carol for everything she has done for me and my family over the years. It is my honest belief that we would not be in the position we are in if it was not for her guidance, expertise and honesty. We can't begin to thank her enough."

J-James Carriveau, President, Exact Interlock and Exact Properties

"One call to Oegema, Nicholson Associates is all it took. After our basement flooded, within a day or two they had a crew cleaning everything up, taking down the drywall and itemizing everything to be cleaned, thrown out or restored. They had everything in place for us in a timely manner and were extremely patient with me as they talked me through the process and waited for me to make decisions."

J-Jennifer Parks, Stittsville, Ontario

"I’ve been dealing with ONA for over 20 years with my personal insurance, as well as our commercial insurance, and I know I can rely on them for great customer service, and prompt responses. I feel confident not only referring them to my employees, but to our customers as well."
