My Story…
On Friday June 25th I am excited to be running for the 8th year on Team Cassie & Friends in support of kids and families affected by Juvenile Arthritis.
Cassie & Friends is very special to our team at Porte. In 2006, David Porte's daughter, Cassie, was diagnosed with arthritis at the young age of two and shortly after her diagnosis David & Debbie founded Cassie & Friends. Cassie is just one of 24,000 children in Canada living in pain from Juvenile Arthritis (JA) - a serious autoimmune condition that attacks joints and steals childhoods. Children with JA will spend countless hours treating their condition and are often confined to the sidelines in sports, school and life. With the help of many, Cassie and Friends has built a strong, thriving community of kids, families and doctors working together for a better future for kids with arthritis. Today, Cassie and Friends provides support and funds research at BC Children's Hospital (Vancouver), SickKids Hospital (Toronto), Alberta Children's Hospital (Calgary) and Stollery Hospital (Edmonton) as well as the Arthritis Centres in Victoria and Penticton.
Cassie & Friends has impacted the lives of thousands of families affected by Juvenile Arthritis and they have big goals for the future. This year I would like to help support this amazing charity by raising $2500. Please show your support by donating or joining the team.
