JOIN US FOR OUR 10th ANNIVERSARY RUN
Hey YYC, join us in the battle to end Childhood Cancer! You can set your own goals and join in on the run/walk.
LOCATION: Peace Park - 8 St SW & 2 Ave SW, Calgary
The last couple of years has provided unprecedented challenges but also unprecedented learning. As such, the entirely volunteer-run leadership team at Believe in the Gold has identified new opportunities to be even more effective at achieving our goal of eradicating childhood cancer.
We are accepting donations through Shaw Birdies for Kids
Childhood Cancer comes in numerous forms, and besides the mental and financial hardships dealt to those families, the treatment regimen is gruelling and often outdated and lasts a long time.
In many cases, treatment lasts for 3.5 years or 1277 days if you want to look at it that way. Compare how you felt dealing with 490 days of covid and multiply that from a time point only. Believe in the Gold, with your support, is helping to change the treatment protocol. Let's continue making a difference by joining us again for our 10th annual Run/Walk for Childhood Cancer.
9:00 - 1:pm Entertainment, kids zone, games, and food throughout.
