My Story…
Four years ago, my older brother, Jeff, died at the age of 27 from a rare form of cancer.
Jeff was an amazing man - to say the least.
Shortly after losing Jeff, I began routinely jogging as a form of therapy. In October 2019, while jogging along the Hamilton escarpment, I saw a sign for Wellwood's Walk Run Wheel event that said, "Help Kick Cancer's Butt."
I couldn't help but feel it was a figurative 'sign' - calling me to get involved and help those in our community who are living with cancer.
So, I joined the event. And I loved it.
I have participated in the event every year since then and through the incredible support I have received from family and friends, we have raised over $20,000 for Wellwood.
Carrying forward Jeff's Legacy
Jeff's legacy was one of kindness, purpose, and love. He taught me how to be humble and measured in my actions. He helped showed me what it means to be a good man.
I am running in this event to carry forward Jeff's legacy.

Description
Cancer is already isolating. No one should have to go through it alone.
Even now that we are able to gather again, Wellwood has emerged as a hybrid of in-person and virtual offerings. This new direction allows Wellwood to meet the needs of those who are unable to come to our physical spaces – whether that is due to geography, mobility, caregiving responsibilities, feeling too unwell to travel, or even having made the decision to continue the practice of physical distancing for personal safety.
Thousands of people in our community are still living with cancer right now. Most face serious illness and many are immune compromised, which makes the current crisis all the more difficult to cope with and navigate.
They need our support now, more than ever.
Please, help me in my efforts to support Wellwood, by pledging toward my participation in their 24th Annual Walk/Run/Wheel.
Thank you for your support!
