Help Amanda raise money

For participating in Sporting Life 10k - Toronto 2017

Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2017/6186/sporting-life-10k-toronto-2017/pledge/participant/2054417

My Story…

I am running this 10K for my little friend William who at only 2 years old fought for his life battling a very rare type of Leukima. By race time he will be a year post transplant. I want to celebrate the milestone with this race. I want to honour Williams fight by doing something physically challenging. I want to do something physically difficult as an homage to his mother, who has had to overcome the most mind blowing obstacles since this all began. I have never seen such a graceful display of strength. William is still recovering, and the road will continue to be bumpy. This time last year we had real doubts he would make it. He was so sick, I truly would never wish that on anyone. This year he is running around with his brother and Foxley! It is amazing! I am so grateful to watch the three of them cause trouble! The proceeds of this event go to Camp Ooch, William has benefitted from Camp Ooch and it has been a beautiful thing. I am proud to raise money first such a kick ass charity! Thanks for pledging! It is going to be an amazing day!
