Help me make a difference in childhood cancer!
During my cancer journey, I have seen many young people striken with this horrible disease. Please donate money so that a cure can be found so other kids do not have to go through this.
Description
Hello!
On September 14th, 2024 I’m lacing up and participating in the Kitchener Kids with Cancer Run / Walk to raise awareness and critical funds for a very important organization – The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario. (POGO)
There are over 4,300 families in Ontario with a child in cancer treatment or follow-up care each year. Over 80% of children diagnosed with cancer in Ontario will survive but two of every three childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk of at least one late effect due to their cancer or its treatment, including heart disease, second cancers and cognitive challenges.
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.
Kirsten shares her journey through POGO's digital story telling.
