HOW THE EVENT STARTED AND WHAT IT'S GROWN INTO:

In May of 2020, Mark Seabrook (owner of the Canadian Golf & Country Club) began an unexpected journey with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. What started as a routine phone call with his doctor led to a stress test that changed everything. Within days, Mark learned that two of his arteries were 95% blocked and another was 70% blocked. Stents weren’t an option, he needed a triple bypass.

Four months later, Mark unwent surgery performed by Dr. Glineur and his incredible team. What was expected to be a long operation went perfectly, and within just a few days, Mark was back home, walking in his neighborhood. As he approached the anniversary of his surgery, he couldn't help but feel thankful and motivated to give give back - hence the start of Play For Your Heart! 

Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Canada, but many risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, and inactivity can be managed with lifestyle changes and regular checkups. Recognizing early symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue can make all the difference.

Join us in supporting heart health by taking part in an active day on course as we enjoy 18 holes of golf, followed by a wonderful meal and gathering in support of a great cause. Together, we can celebrate life, raise funds for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, and help ensure more Canadians have the chance to say, "I'm one of the lucky ones."
