99-Year-Old Guy Aiello Raises $20,880 For PRHC Foundation By Walking Marathon

Ninety-nine-year-old Guy Aiello, a longtime PRHC hospital supporter, walked the distance of a marathon—42.2 kilometres—to raise funds for equipment and technology at PRHC, and raised $20,880 PRHC Foundation has announced.

A PRHC Foundation donor and former hospital volunteer for almost 30 years, Guy was raised to be kind to everyone and to share what he had. In honour of his 100th birthday this fall, he was resilient in walking this far, and the community rallied behind him.

Guy walked the distance of a marathon—and then some—over the month of July to support the PRHC Foundation. He raised the funds in support of the equipment and technology that PRHC’s doctors, nurses and staff need to provide world-class care to patients.

“Our deepest thanks to Guy and everyone who supported his fundraising challenge,” PRHC Foundation says in a Facebook post. “We know the very best hospitals depend on the generosity of many donors working together and we are very grateful for your support.”
