My Story…
This is my first charity 5K run. I, for a long time wanted to join a 5K run. When I came across the Yorkville Charity Run supporting 30 charities including ALS Society of Canada, I said to myself "This is it, my first 5K run is finally happening!". ALS took my father's life about 10 years back. I was his caretaker while he fought for 18 months before he passed away. I saw him suffer everyday as his disease slowly debilitated him, making him bedridden, speechless and frail. I felt helpless to give him any kind relief. Today, I feel empowered to contribute towards the support for those suffering with ALS, their families and continued research efforts for treatment by ALS Society of Canada. As to how I plan to complete my 5K run? With faith in my heart and holding my father's finger all the way to the finish line! Every dollar you contribute with me will not only be a positive step towards finding a cure but will also be a gift to my soul. Thank you for your contribution.
