My Story…
Alex is running in memory of her dad in the Wellwood Run for your Bum for Colorectal Cancer Awareness this October. This is our 10th year running in this race! We began participating in the race only weeks after Jason (aka Daddy) was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Alex was 1 yr old. We were lucky to run with Jason the first couple of years, before he passed away. Now Team "Running for Daddy" participates in his name every year. This event means a lot to Alex and she feels proud to run for her daddy each year. This year the event is virtual, but Team Running for Daddy plans to get outside and participate in activities we think Jason would have liked. If you would like to support families living with cancer, please consider supporting Alex for the run by clicking the link above. I know this is a challenging time financially for many people, so any little bit helps.
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!
