Road to Recovery 2024 Paves the Way to Healing Addiction
Runners and walkers had a spring in their step at the Fifth Annual Renascent Road to Recovery Walk/Run. This year’s fundraiser brought in over $18,500 – the highest sum to date – to support the delivery of life-saving addiction treatment at Renascent’s Centres.
The event, held on June 1 at Lakefront West Park in Oshawa, was attended by the Member of Parliament for Durham, the Honorable Jamil Jivani, who delivered opening remarks to the participants, and presented Renascent with a Letter of Congratulations for its long-standing commitment to serving people coping with drug and alcohol addiction. Renascent alumni, clients, and staff then walked a scenic five-kilometer route along the Durham Region waterfront. Afterwards, attendees enjoyed a lunchtime fellowship and a delicious BBQ meal at the Paul J. Sullivan Centre in Brooklin.

Every day in Ontario, an increasing number of families grieve the loss of a loved one to addiction. In Ontario alone, there continues to be a staggering rise in substance use and drug-related deaths. Substance use disorders were among the leading causes of illness for Canadians, affecting more people than heart disease and causing more hospitalizations than heart attacks and strokes combined.
While addiction is a devastating and deadly illness, recovery is possible. Help us make life-saving treatment more accessible for individuals and families.
Thank you to our 2025 sponsors
