Help Brigit raise money

We all went into 2021 expecting a better year than 2020. Little did I know, my life as I knew it was going to completely change again, beyond what this pandemic has brought us. 

At the end of January, after having been sick for many weeks, my partner was diagnosed with this AWFUL disease called cancer that affects so many across the world.

Too many die from this disease, and with all our medical advancements, it still manages to evade us in finding a cure.

In an effort to turn my lemons into lemonade and wanting do something positive with this recent news , I am hoping to raise funds for two organizations that I believe are important in helping anyone affected by cancer see hope for a better future. These organizations help with research and advancements for treatment and help families and those affected cope with the grief that their lives have changed indefinitely. 

The two organizations I am raising money for are the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society.

I am hopeful that with more research, we can find more ways to fight against cancer, and so many more families do not have to hear the devastating news that comes with this diagnosis.

On May 23, I am going to set out from my little condo in Toronto and run 42.2km for the Virtual Toronto Marathon. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic currently happening, the marathon is being held virtually this year. This will be my first marathon, and I am choosing to run this and challenge myself to push through the training and distance to show support and strength for my partner as he, quite literally, battles for his life.

I appreciate any and all support that can be given - let's all try and do some good in this world and make cancer history.

Much love.

Feb 17/2021 - we've just surpassed $1000! I am upping my goal to $2000 now! Thank you to everyone who has donated. I am so much more motivated now for this marathon, and I feel so loved, supported, and encouraged. My heart is so full right now, I can't even express how much this all means to me!

Feb 22/2021 - Not even another week has passed and I've now had to update my goal to $3,000. Suffice it to say, I am more than overwhelmed and speechless by the outpouring of support for myself and for these incredible charities doing amazing research. I am more motivated then ever to see how far I can go with this, we've got 14 more weeks - let's do some good!!
