Kelly Arnott at VRPRO dedicates endless hours working to help local charities.

So, you see Kelly at many events around town, probably in conversation with a business owner, City Councilor or executives. Why, she is looking for support for VRPRO events which will give money back to our community.

Second Wind Conditioning is thrilled to be part of helping women to be pro-active in breast cancer awareness. With the contribution that Second Wind Conditioning made; General Hospital in Hamilton was able to purchase a sophisticated MRI Breast Coil Machine.

Check out the plaque at the General which will be viewed and admired by many:

In September of 2008 the director of the Hamilton Health Science’s Diagnostic Imaging department at General site, Dr. Arlene Franchetto approached the staff of the MRI department with wonderful proposal. Community conscious individuals wanted to help raise funds for a new state of the art MRI Breast coil. Kelly Arnott of VRPRO offered to donate funds raised from the Chili Half Marathon and Frosty 5km. run in March of 2009.

Everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer, by the time the word was out about the fundraiser, over 75% of the staff in Diagnostic Imaging had signed up to either run, walk or volunteer for the event. With the generosity of Nancy Hastings of Second Wind Conditioning the staff have started training for the 1/2 Marathon. A lot of enthusiastic people, most who’ve never run before, are participating to help provide the Hamilton and surrounding area women and men access to a valuable diagnostic tool which will help in the fight against breast cancer. The spirit of the race has really brought out the best in our staff, not to mention a few aches and pains, with an added bonus of a few pounds shed.

Through much discussion and eventually a vote we decided on our team name, The Rack Pack, with our motto, The General’s in Motion to Save Second Base!

Dr. Rose Jeans of Advanced Rejuvenation helped to initate this fundraiser and it has snowballed into a truly inspirational event not only in our department, the hospital but in the community at large. It’s been an honour to work with such great caring people.

About VRPRO:

For the past 14 years Mark and Kelly Arnott have been making Burlington the place to race!!
The original race was the Downtown Dash in 1994 which took place in downtown Burlington and this first ever 5k race had 160 runners in it. We then decided along with our enthusiastic running groups from our store The Village Runner that we would encounter a Half Marathon which was put together the next year. This race started at the Oakville Village Runner and finished at our Burlington Village Runner. For that very first year we had over 250 runners with proceeds of the event going to Halton Women’s Shelter. This race has carried on over the years to become one of Canada’s premier half marathons with thousands participating.
VR Pro continued to put together new races every year including the Jingle Bell race, Waterfront Trail and Hannukah Hustle

In 1999 the first ever Burlington Marathon was initiated and the response was amazing. The Burlington Rock N Roll Marathon, half marathon and 5k continued for 5 years until it outgrew the city. There still may be another Marathon in the future.
Mark and Kelly hosted the Mayors triathlon and were the Run Directors and founders of the CIBC Run for the Cure for 5 years.

VR Pro will host approximately 10 events per year in the GTA and also directs many other races for organizations and has been instrumental in raising over a Million dollars towards various charities
