Help Brittany raise money

For participating in 2021 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5K

My Story…

Hi friends!

My name is Brittany and I am the Director, Programs + Partnerships at Cassie + Friends. As some of you may know, I'm quite passionate about the work we do and this year I'm running to prove it!

Over the past year, I've seen first-hand just how much our programs mean to families in the pediatric rheumatic disease community and the impact they make in empowering, connecting, and guiding families on their journey with juvenile arthritis, lupus, and more.

From in-hospital equipment cupboards to emergency family funding, expert-led webinars to in-school supports, mentorship and peer connection, it's our mission to transform the lives of those in our community.

I'm very excited to share that this year's fundraising efforts will support the development of a new injection support program. This program will help families who are faced with administering at-home medication via needle injection to learn how to give a needle, tips for dealing with needlephobia and needle-pain, and the psychological impacts that this can have on the entire family. Stay tuned for more details.

In the meantime, I invite you to join me in running, walking, and/or donating to raise funds and awareness for juvenile arthritis and other pediatric rheumatic diseases.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for helping me reach (and maybe even surpass) my $500 fundraising goal! 

Description

I'm running to support a pain-free future for kids affected by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Please support me by making a donation or letting others know that kids get arthritis too!
