Legacy of love: two generations of support and caring
Fall 2024 Impact Report
Beat as one
“When you are charitable, you help make the world a better place for everyone.” The first thing you notice when meeting Ken Scott is his welcoming smile and gentle demeanor. At 77, the Saanich British Columbia native takes living a heart-healthy lifestyle seriously – with good reason. His father Ralph was just 70 when he had a heart attack. Thankfully, he had a full recovery, living to age 97. His heart attack inspired Ken’s mom, Dorothy, to become a Heart & Stroke canvasser. For nearly a decade, Ken drove her on her fundraising routes through central Saanich. Dorothy sadly passed at 92, and today, Ken proudly displays the plaque she received for outstanding service. He knows how important it is to make a difference in the lives of the 3.5 million Canadians affected by heart disease, stroke and vascular cognitive impairment. In the spirit of giving, Ken has created his own legacy, with a gift in his Will dedicated to Heart & Stroke. Thank you, Ken, for your big heart and for following in your mother’s footsteps! Your legacy will continue to help beat heart disease and stroke, giving families strength and hope today and tomorrow.
A lifesaving gift, a legacy of hope Making a legacy pledge means we can continue to lead the way in our mission to beat heart disease and stroke and its devastating impact on Canadian families. With so much uncertainty, you can count on making a lasting difference!
Big breakthroughs. Better health. Because of YOU.
