Help Bessie raise money

For participating in Tamarack Ottawa Virtual Race Weekend 2021

My Story…

Hello Everyone,

I am walking this year to raise money for the Thalassemia Foundation of Canada, as our normal 'Walk for Thalassemia' was cancelled last year and I am not sure if it will be possible this year due to the pandemic restrictions. 

This cause is personal for me as I was diagnosed with beta thalassemia major at a very young age and have been dependent on monthly blood transfusions and daily treatments my whole life. I am one of the fortunate ones whose life was not cut short - some of our dear friends were not so lucky. 

The Foundation does great work to advocate for patients and to fund relevant scientific and clinical research to improve outcomes for thalassemia patients. Please consider sponsoring me or the National Thalassemia Squad to help the foundation continue it's good work.

With sincere thanks,

Bessie
