My Story…

Our 5K fundraiser for SickKids Hospital was a treat! All your support kept us motivated and has helped so many kids. THANK YOU 🎃 👻!

This Halloween I will be running in support of SickKids Hospital! I won't be giving out candy this year but still wanted to do something special for the kiddos so my husband, dog Jolly, and I will be dressing up in our spooktacular costumes and running a 5k on the beach and we'd love your support!

I am running in honour of Lily, the daughter of one of my closest friends, who was unfortunately diagnosed with leukemia this past Thanksgiving. It has been a very difficult last few weeks for their family, but Lily is being very brave and the team at SickKids has been incredible. To read about Lily’s journey please visit: https://gf.me/u/y4fa9r 

Donations are welcome as are well wishes, positive thoughts and prayers for Lily and all the kiddos who are sick and need some extra support during these very challenging times. 

Have a safe and fun Halloween! Photos of my crazy family running on the beach to come! 


Description

Be a SickKids Warrior

The challenges the kids at SickKids face are some of the toughest: cancer, heart disease, cystic fibrosis. SickKids is always pushing the limits of what we can do for these children.

When you challenge yourself in a race, hike, hockey game, triathlon, you challenge your own limits. When you combine your fitness challenge with fundraising for SickKids, you become a SickKids Warrior. It’s a win for those kids - and the hospital that fights for them - when you fundraise on their behalf.

Why Become A SickKids Warrior?

As a SickKids Warrior you will be:

rewarded – when you hit fundraising goals we’ll send you swag including a SickKids buff

encouraged – through a quarterly newsletter full of member profiles, upcoming events and SickKids stories to spark your warrior spirit

supported – with downloadable resources to amp up your fundraising performance
