Help Shawna raise money

For participating in 2023 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon

My Story…

I've had a lot of ups and downs over the past couple years.

The year of 2020 my beloved aunt was diagnosed with ALS. I decided for me and her, I'd run 100km every single month of 2021 in her honor as I watched her become weaker and weaker. She passed away in October of that year but I completed it anyways and ran with all the pain and tears.


Fast forward to November 2022, the rock of my family, the strongest man I know took a turn for the worst and passed away peacefully surrounded by love ones. He had a lung condition that ultimately took his ability to do anything really. He pushed through until the very end. Never showing his weakness. I ran my very first half marathon for him in May 2023.

I've had my fair share of loss and pain over the past few years. I got back up. Dusted myself off and carried on.


I wanted to raise money this time around to help families that go through things that they should never have to.  Which is why I've chosen the SickKids foundation. These kids suffer more than they need to. When all they want is to just be kids. Their families suffer. And If this little amount that I could raise helps a little bit, then I will run my little heart out again.


So thank you from the bottom of my heart for the donation. Big or small.

Donate to help Shawna raise money for 2023 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
