Last year, Original Joe's supported the Courage Ride through their HeartCart — an initiative dedicated to giving back to the community. This year, they’re back, and we’re so grateful for their continued support, as each rider will enjoy a post-ride lunch courtesy of Original Joe’s.

“One of our core values as an organization is Taking Care of Our Community, so we love finding new ways to support others. The HeartCart is the main vessel that allows us to give back. Its purpose is to take care of people who take care of people,” says Adria Dube, general manager at Original Joe’s.

Don’t miss the opportunity to make a difference. Every dollar raised through the Courage Ride will help bring to life a new accessible therapeutic pool at the Glenrose, providing aquatic therapy to patients of all ages and abilities.

Wrapping up the last Summer Camp with the Specialized Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (SROP) Pediatric team! Last week, youth ages 14 to 17 participated in Camp Explore, where they learned and applied transitional skills ahead of adulthood — including safe knife skills by getting creative making their own fruit pizzas.

Throughout July and August, the SROP team offered a variety of engaging activities designed to support young patients in rebuilding their confidence and skills.

Twelve years ago, Karen Skarra was in a life-altering accident. Today, she’s reflecting on her road to recovery and how the Glenrose helped her rebuild her life.

“It’s taken me 12 years, but I’m finally able to articulate myself so much better. I don’t embarrass myself nearly as much these days,” Karen says, adding that while life still has its challenges, she’s come incredibly far and has worked hard to get to where she is today.

Karen sustained a severe traumatic brain injury, three skull fractures, and fractured spinal cord when she was in a serious single-vehicle car accident on August 10, 2013. After a month spent in acute care, she spent another month as an inpatient at the Glenrose, followed by two years of outpatient rehabilitation.

A recent highlight from our Pediatric Specialized Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (SROP) was the CO-OPerative Discovery Summer Camp, held last week for youth ages 5 to 10.

Participants shared personal goals, like scootering, climbing at the park, or doing up zippers and buttons, and worked toward achieving them with support from occupational therapists, students, and mentors. They also had fun crafting alien UFOs, making slime, building forts, and decorating cookies.

Programs like this at the Glenrose help young patients build confidence and develop important life skills.

When a night out snowmobiling took an unexpected turn, Scott Douglas visited the Glenrose—a time he now looks back on as some of the best days of his life.

The accident, which left him with serious injuries to his back, pelvis, and legs, left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite the adversities he faced, Scott continued to be motivated by his rehabilitation experience, going on to successfully pursue a career as an auctioneer.

And he’s also a cyclist.

Just two years ago, Scott and his cycling group hand cycled for charity all the way from Stettler to Calgary. This year, he’s riding the Courage Ride for the first time.

🤝 Join Scott at this year’s Courage Ride, Saturday, September 6 at Pigeon Lake!

Our Specialized Rehabilitation Outpatient Program (SROP) hosted another successful Functional Future Camp — specifically designed for youth ages 9 to 13.

Participants enjoyed fun, hands-on interventions from designing their own tote bags and practicing kitchen skills like making homemade ice cream! These experiences are more than just fun, they help build real-life skills, encouraging creativity and promoting independence. At the same time, kids got to practice their fine and gross motor abilities while also strengthening their social and communication skills — learnings they’ll carry for life. 💙

Riding in honour of beloved and former nurse at the Glenrose, the Russ Walker Riders are back—stronger than ever—at this year’s Courage Ride.

In 2022 when Russ was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma, he never imagined that the hospital where he spent his career caring for others would become the place where he would fight his own health battle. After surgery to remove two-thirds of his tumour, Russ turned to rehabilitation to regain lost movement and speech, staying motivated through his love of cycling.

Russ rode the 2023 Courage Ride on his adapted trike. When he passed away in 2024, his wife Maria, along with friends, family, and colleagues formed the commemorative team, the Russ Walker Riders, spending the day doing what he loved—cycling—in support of the place near and dear to his heart.

This year, they’re back! Help the Russ Walker Riders reach their fundraising goal this year by donating to their team today: https://www.courageride.ca/t/the-russ-walker-riders

Whether you're riding for someone special, in support of the Glenrose, or simply love a great community event—there’s a place for you at the Courage Ride. Join a team like the Russ Walker Riders, register as an individual, or gather your own group of family, friends, or coworkers to start a new one!

Brad Bartko carries pride with him every single day. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was just two years old, Brad doesn’t see his disability as a limitation, but as a meaningful part of his journey that has shaped who he is.

“My disability hasn’t held me back,” he says. “It’s helped me grow, pushed me forward, and made me the person I am today.”

Instead of letting those challenges stop him, Brad used his experience to help others. As co-founder of disAbility: Accessible by Design, and a committed member of the foundation’s Courage Gala committee, Brad is dedicated to creating more inclusive and accessible spaces for everyone.

"People with disabilities want to be seen, heard, and accepted—just like everyone else,” Brad shares. “In my work, everyone has their own way of doing things, so I always ask: How can I make things easier for you?” He believes that when people feel supported, it creates a positive effect that spreads to others. “At the end of the day, it’s not about me, it’s about we.”

💙 This July, we celebrate —a time to honour the voices, strength, and contributions of people with disabilities in our communities.

Kids ages 1 to 3 took part in the Glenrose's augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) camp, where they explored a range of tools and strategies to support communication. This group was also joined by Glenrose child life specialist, Natasha, who ran a playful teddy bear clinic. With teddy bears as patients, the kids experienced a series of pretend hospital checkups—helping to make medical settings feel more familiar and less intimidating.
