My Story…

Running around the Bay for the second time in my TD career. I finished with the time of 45 mins I am hoping I can beat that time and run 5Km in 30 mins.

Description

This year, I will be running in support of kids and families affected by juvenile arthritis (JA) and other rheumatic diseases with Cassie + Friends Society. Cassie + Friends is a national charity focused 100% on kids and families impacted by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Cassie + Friends provides much needed education, awareness, support programs, advocacy and research to families across Canada.

What is JA?

JA is an incurable autoimmune disease in kids that attacks healthy joints and steals childhoods. It’s just as common as Juvenile Diabetes (every 3 in 1000 kids) and yet receives a fraction of the research, awareness and support. Kids with JA live with pain, fatigue and fevers, and many require aggressive medications like chemotherapy.

This year, Cassie + Friends is raising money for:

  • Fueling critical advocacy + research funding into safer treatments and a cure.
  • Supporting families with emergency funds and medical equipment 
  • Helping fund Monthly Expert-Led educational webinars
  • Connecting youth with trained peer mentors

Thank you for your support towards a pain-free future for kids and families affected by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases!
