Miriam Ritskes, Maggie, Boyer, Nancy Stelzer and Cora Beking North Grenville is taking up a challenge to raise funds for a women’s hospital in Cambodia. In last week’s Times, we wrote about the project and, this week, we present two of the four local women who have taken up the challenge so far. It’s not right to say we should help people at home before we look abroad for people to support. We can do both, and the needs in other countries, where they do not have OHIP and government support for programs, cannot wait until we have perfected out healthcare system. So, here are two individuals who have found their own way to challenge themselves for the good of others.

Cora Beking: Taking up the Walking for Women Nokor Tep Hospital Challenge was an easy decision to make. My love for the great outdoors, walking, running and being involved in the family business, church and community has helped me stay active. So when my dear friend Janne Ritskes shared her inspirational story of her faith-led journey in Cambodia, I had to get on board. I wanted to be part of her team to raise one million dollars by year end. Having had the privilege of travelling to third world countries on mission trips and with Rotary, I have seen first-hand the lack of women's health care. I have challenged myself

to walk 1,000km by December 31, and am asking 1000 of my family and friends to sponsor me for $10 or more to reach my goal of $10,000. Then I also challenge you to ask 10 of your family and friends to sponsor me for $10 each. Put it out on social media. Together as a team we will make a difference for thousands of women in Cambodia. With your support, I'll keep walking. To date I have walked 200 km. In the New Year, I plan to make a quilt with a picture of everyone who was involved and sponsored me in this challenge. This will then go to Nokor Tep hospital, to display how we, as a team, came together to reach the million

Cora Beking Marguerite Boyer: Having met Janne Ritskes, through an interview, and having that one-on-one conversation with her, inspired me to take up my own challenge. I have pledged to raise $10,000 by the end of this year, by sticking to my exercise program every day. Carrie Smith (owner of Kemptville Physio) has pledged her time to help me with an exercise program suitable to me, and meeting my Continued on page 3
