Following his widely acclaimed run spanning from the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border to the Manitoba-Ontario border last year, Rob Tétrault garnered national attention, catching the eyes of media and influential figures within the healthcare sector, including Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and Dr. Jessica Dunn, pivotal in developing Newborn Screening Ontario's cCMV screening program. Building on the success of his previous initiative, Rob is steadfast in his commitment to furthering awareness and garnering support, this time in New Brunswick.
