Help Darren raise money

For participating in 2019 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5k

My Story…

13 years ago, Cassie Porte was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. 12 years ago, the Porte family, whom I didn’t know, started a foundation to develop research and support programs for the 3 in 1000 children diagnosed with this rare and still relatively unknown disease. 5 years ago, I met Cassie’s father, David, and we became close friends. 2 years ago, I joined David and his family on this run and in the Porte family's quest to raise funds for Juvenile Arthritis and the amazing Cassie and Friends foundation.   Last year, my own daughter Scarlett, at 6 years old, was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis……   Thank you so much to Cassie, David, Debbie and all the members of Cassie and Friends. You were there for us when we learned of Scarlett’s condition.  You are there, whenever we need you every day.  You will be there, when we need you tomorrow. Any donation will be very much appreciated and goes a long way for these children and their families.  Trust me I know!

Description

You’re invited to join Cassie and Friends as we run and walk to raise funds for kids and families affected by Juvenile Arthritis (JA) and other rheumatic diseases in BC and across Canada.
 
Last year, we raised over $250,000 thanks to your dedication and hard work. For 2019, we have set the bar even higher!
 
We challenge you to help us raise $260,000 for life-changing research, child and parent support programs, education and advocacy.
 
All teammates who raise more than $50 will receive a Cassie and Friends' Running Shirt and be entered to win exciting prizes.
