My Story…
Sofia’s Journey
2023 was the year that changed our lives forever. This was the year Sofia was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. Over the last year and half, Sofia has been through weekly injections, countless blood work appointments, seen many specialists and undergone many diagnostic tests so we can put her condition into remission and reduce her daily pain.
At Children's HSC, we were given a pamphlet for Cassie + Friends and it has helped us and Sofia understand her diagnosis, connected us with others in our community and all over Canada dealing with Rheumatic diseases.
When we heard Winnipeg was going to have their very first Walk/Run to support Juvenile Arthritis / Rheumatic diseases we were very excited to join so we can bring awareness to others regarding these childhood conditions. If you can join us on May 31, 2025 at Kildonan Park please sign up here:

If you are unable to join us on May 31, 2025 for the walk/run, please consider donating as the money raised goes back into the community which can be for injection kits (buzzy bees, aids to help kids, treatment, travel costs, etc) for families in Manitoba.
