Why We Relay
A number of years ago, an inspirational runner and one of my best friend's, Kira Goodwin inspired me and many members of this team to run the most beautiful relay in the world, The Banff Jasper Relay!
Kira, a true adventurer, is no longer with us, but her spirit truly lives on in these mountains. Not only do I run for Kira, but for my Uncle Dave, who a number of years ago died of a brain tumour. This run and this cause are very near and dear to me!
Every showing of support is so appreciated!
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.
