My Story…
After promising to never run a half marathon again, Ellie and Jamie, two self-proclaimed "athletes", have officially signed up for the 2024 BMO Half-Marathon. This year, we have decided to associate our run with a charity and will be raising funds for BC Cancer. Why are we doing this? Well, gather around for a story that aims to shamelessly guilt you into donating money to our cause.
Ellie's amazing cousin, Catie, someone we both look up to, was recently met with a stage 4 metastatic melanoma diagnosis in the brain and spine. This cancer is inoperable, malicious and very rare.
In an attempt to feel like we can help in some way, we decided to run this half-marathon for a cause that's close to our hearts: BC Cancer Foundation. Every donation we receive goes straight to supporting cancer research and care.
Why should you donate? Well, besides the family cancer card we just pulled on you, consider the fact that we also need all the motivation we can as extremely unprepared "athletes," determined to make a difference.
Description
At the BC Cancer Foundation we believe that with your help BC CAN make a difference in the lives of all British Columbians. We know that one in two people in our province will face cancer in their lifetime and we’re igniting progress to break down cancer, piece by piece, in the labs and clinics.
Your generous donations fund crucial advancements in cancer research and care at BC Cancer, helping save lives of British Columbians. By working with community fundraising champions like you, who believe that investments in science and innovations in care can make a significant difference for British Columbians, we are confident that BC CAN change the outcome for each person facing this disease.
