Our story…

Exactly one year ago, a brave little girl named Sloane who was supposed to be running in the kids’ marathon at this very race was instead 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 honor of Sloane and countless other children fighting similar battles, Sloane’s mom has created a run team with a goal of raising funds for childhood cancer research.

Did you know that only seven 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 for 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 contribution 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.

Here's how you can get involved:

Make a Donation: Your financial support, no matter the amount, will contribute to vital, much-needed research that can save lives. 

Share Our Story: Spread the word by sharing this email or our fundraising page with your friends, family, and colleagues. The more people who know about Sloane's story, the greater impact we can make. Or follow Sloane’s mom on Instagram where she’s advocating for childhood cancer.

Join Us: If you're feeling particularly energetic, consider joining team Strong Like Sloane. 

Let's come together to get loud, make noise and spread awareness. By doing so, we’ll all make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. 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.
