Spirit of Kourage Annual Inspiration Luncheon 2023

Kourage Health, in its annual tradition of celebrating resilience and inspiring hope, hosted its “Spirit of Kourage” Annual Inspiration Luncheon. This year’s event, attended by nearly 300 supporters, was a resounding success, leaving attendees uplifted and motivated by the incredible journey of our keynote speaker, Tim Hague, Sr.

Tim Hague, Sr. emphasized the invaluable role of movement as medicine, particularly for those living with chronic illnesses like Parkinson’s. His personal triumph over the debilitating effects of the disease through exercise and his remarkable victory in “The Amazing Race Canada” was a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Tim’s message was clear: when we summon the courage to move forward, both physically and emotionally, we can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Kourage Health would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to all attendees, sponsors, and volunteers who made the event a remarkable success. Your unwavering support fuels our mission to empower those living with chronic illnesses and inspires them to embrace the courage within.

Thank you for being a part of this inspirational event.
