Why We Relay
Many of you already my Reason4Running....in 2014 I lost my mom to this terrible, terrible disease. My sister in-law Amy found this run and put our first team in! It was June 2014 and my mom was able to be there! She was so proud of all of us! It was such an amazing race, very emotional but so great! Since then, I've tried to continue putting a team in and raise money for the Canadian Brain Tumour Foundation. This year with Covid, we aren't able to run with the beautiful mountain scenery but we are putting a team in and will run virtually!
It has been 7 years since my mom passed away and since then this disease has affected our family, our friends and our community.
You are my reasons for running
Mitch Germain, Sheila Boisvert (mom), Jill Boisvert, Oma, Grandma Germain and countless others that have suffered.

Description
Thank you for helping to raise money for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada! The Banff Jasper Relay is on a mission to #endbraintumours.
The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to reaching every person in Canada affected by a brain tumour with support, education and information, and to funding brain tumour research. Every year, we help thousands of Canadians affected by brain tumours find emotional support and comfort while gaining a better understanding and knowledge of their disease. Brain tumours are unpredictable and complex. The disease does not discriminate and affects people of all ages and backgrounds. A brain tumour can impact vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. And the effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. Lifting this burden for anyone affected is the goal of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. With 55,000 Canadians living with the disease, families across the country depend on this unique organization to address patients’ quality of life needs while also funding the research necessary to find the ever-elusive cure.
