Running a half marathon is a feat in itself, but imagine doing it while pushing a 7-year-old in a stroller. That’s exactly what Kimberley Kotar did Sunday morning. The 54-year-old pushed Mila Goolab in the BougeBouge Festival in Ile-Perrot.
The family of a girl with a rare disease – who shared a special on-ice moment with PK Subban in January – is struggling to get her the therapy she needs. Mila Goolab has transverse myelitis, a rare inflammatory disease causing injury to the spinal cord, resulting in weakness.
The P.K. Subban Foundation (PKSF) has raised $6.3 million for the Montreal Children s Hospital in eight years, surpassing the halfway point of its $10 million goal. In 2015, the Montreal Canadiens star pledged to raise to meet the goal in just seven years but, according to the hospital, plans were stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic s impact on fundraising events.
On a night meant to honour P.K. Subban, the former Montreal Canadiens defenceman put the spotlight on someone else. There, in front of 21,000 screaming fans, seven-year-old Mila Goolab had her moment.
