Help Josie raise money

For participating in Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2022

My Story…

I was diagnosed with thalassemia major before my 3rd birthday.  Ever since, I have been dependent on blood transfusions to sustain a relatively healthy life, not that there haven't been some challenges.  I am walking to raise funds for Thalassemia Foundation of Canada.  I have volunteered with this organization since 1988 and I currently sit on the board of directors. We fund research in thalassemia, raise awareness and provide education and support.  We also advocate for consistent and comprehensive health care for all thalassemia patients.  Will you help me help others? 

Donate to help Josie raise money for Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2022’s fundraising campaign.
