Help Thomas raise money

For participating in 2024 BMO Vancouver Marathon

My Story…

In 2014 we lost our mum to an aggressive and rare lung cancer called mesothelioma. It shook the foundations of our family — you really don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

Losing a parent before you truly realise how much they do for you is devastating. Mum devoted her life to her family, but she never complained and cherished every second of time spent together.

10 years on, and I’ve realised that my mum still influences my life in an incredibly special way. I feel her scorn when I do something wrong, and thank her when something goes right. I like to live life in such a way that shows my mum that her efforts paid off.

I’m running for you, Anne Tandrevold Charlton, together will all of the selfless parents out there, present or not.
