Help Holly raise money

Hello Friends!

I am reaching out with a cause that is close to my heart, and I believe that with your support, we can make a difference. My co workers little girl is fighting this terrible disease -  At the end of May 2023, a brave little girl named Sloane who was supposed to be running in the kids’ race at the Calgary Marathon was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma - CANCER. Despite the challenges she’s faced, Sloane's spirit, resilience, energy and infectious laughter have inspired us to take action. In honour of Sloane and countless other children fighting similar battles, Sloane’s mom has created a run team to raise funds for childhood cancer research.

Did you know that only four per cent of all cancer research funding in Canada goes toward pediatric cancers? Yet it’s the number one cause of death by disease in kids. We can do better for them and our collective future.

On May 26, 2024, we will be participating in the annual Calgary marathon, not just as a physical challenge but as a symbol of hope, strength, and solidarity for children like Sloane. We have set an ambitious fundraising goal, and this is where we need your help.

Your contribution can make a meaningful impact on the lives of children battling cancer through the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation's pledge to the new Centre for Immunotherapy. Every dollar brings us one step closer to advancements in treatment, research breakthroughs, and ultimately, a cure. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that children like Sloane can grow up to live long, healthy, happy lives.

Every donation, every share, and every step (no pun intended) we take brings us closer to a world where no child has to endure the pain of this devastating disease.

Thank you for considering our cause and for being a beacon of hope for children like Sloane. Together, we can create a brighter and healthier future.

Stay strong,

Holly Goodwin
