We know that many businesses, races and charities have been impacted by the effects of COVID 19, and we are all seeing a reduction in donations and business. We want to use this platform to showcase the races and organizations we work with in Hamilton that have been affected and give them a boost to be able to operate in the coming year.

If you are able, please consider a direct donation to one of our wonderful race partners for the work they do in our community. Or use the specific referral link provided by them. Our hope is that our running family will continue to show love and support, as if it were our regular race season.

Cancer is already isolating. No one should have to go through it alone.

In response to these anxious times, Wellwood is being reimagined through virtual programs, online resources and expanded peer mentoring.

Thousands of people in our community are still living with cancer right now. Most face serious illness and many are immune compromised, which makes the current crisis all the more difficult to cope with and navigate.

They need us more than ever. We need you more than ever, too.

Wellwood is not government funded, covered through OHIP or supported by user fees. It’s no cost to everyone who needs it and that’s only possible because of donations like yours.

For more information about our programs and services, please visit: wellwood.ca.

Thank you for your support.
