Join me and make a difference in childhood cancer!

The Toronto Harbour Front Marathon is less then a week away and I am thrilled to be running in the 5km to raise money for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO), a organization that has provided  care and support to our daughter Emily throughout her on going treatment.

Description


There are over 4,300 families in Ontario with a child in cancer treatment or follow-up care each year. More than 80% of children diagnosed with cancer in Ontario will survive, but many of these survivors will experience complications either due to the disease itself, complex surgical procedures, or the rigorous rounds of radiation and chemotherapy they were given during treatment.
 
Funds raised will provide:

  • financial assistance to families so they can pay for out-of-pocket costs associated with their child’s treatment
  • support survivors with customized school and work counselling when their disease or its treatment has left them with learning challenges
  • fund promising research that examines the impact of childhood cancer and its treatment.


Meet the Wynette’s and learn how they were supported by POGO through their childhood cancer journey. 
 



Thank you for your support!
