Help Chelsea raise money

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

My Story…

On June 23rd I will be running my 2nd half-marathon in support of Cassie + Friends. What started out as a small group of friends and family has grown to over 175 runners! In 2018 we raised $250,000 and this year we aim to beat that total. This isn't the only part of Cassie + Friends that has grown. With branches in 9 cities in Canada from Halifax to Victoria we are reaching kids, families and young adults Canada wide. I was able to be in Toronto in the fall running the 5km Scotiabank Charity Challenge run. Even more recently I was lucky enough to be at the first Family Day in Edmonton that was just as big as our Family Day events in Vancouver! There are more than 24,000 children who suffer with the daily pain of Juvenile Arthritis that need our help. They deserve a childhood of being able to actually be a kid and run around and do whatever they dream of.

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.
