Help Greg raise money

For participating in Wellwood Walk/Run/Wheel

My Story…

Four years ago, my older brother, Jeff, died at the age of 27 from a rare form of cancer

Jeff was an amazing man to say the least. 

Shortly after losing him, I began routinely jogging as a form of therapy. In October 2019, while jogging along the Hamilton escarpment, I saw a sign for Wellwood's Walk Run Wheel event that said, "Help Kick Cancer's Butt." 

I couldn't help but feel this was a figurative 'sign' calling me to get involved and help those in our community who are living with cancer. So, I joined the event, and I loved it. 

I have participated in the event every year since,  and through the incredible support I have received from family and friends, we have collectively raised over $20,000 for Wellwood. 

Carrying forward Jeff's Legacy

Jeff's legacy was one of kindness, purpose, and love. He taught me how to be humble and measured. He demonstrated patience and thoughtfulness. He showed me what it means to be a good man.  

I am running in this event to carry forward Jeff's legacy.

Asking for your support

Any donation you are willing to make - big or small - will have a major impact. 

If you feel inclined to donate, I would greatly appreciate the support.

Together, we can make a big difference.
