Help Deena raise money

For participating in 2023 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon

My Story…

I genuinely thought that living life with fibromyalgia (constant chronic pain) was going to be the biggest battle of my life. But it's not. I can do chronic pain. It's hard, but I can do it. 

Losing my Mom to Alzheimers is the toughest battle I've ever had to face. And while there are beautiful moments, there are extreme moments of sadness. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. 

Some of you know my personal journey with fibro - I'm not technically allowed to run. It hurts. A lot. But I can run 42.2km. I can do this - it's going to hurt and it's going to be miserable. But it'll never be as tough as the diagnosis of Alzheimers for the most important person in my life. 

Thank you for your kind donation. It means the world to me <3
