My Story…
Hello All,
I wanted to take a moment to share something personal and meaningful with you all. On October 12th, I’ll be running the 45th annual Victoria Royal Full Marathon to raise funds for the BC Cancer Foundation, a cause that has become especially meaningful for me.
Earlier this year, my father was diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing his sixth round of chemotherapy. This year’s marathon holds extra significance for me — I’ll be running it at the same age my father was when he completed the same race back in 1999, a moment I was lucky enough to witness as a child. This year’s run takes place the day before his birthday, and he plans to be there to support and cheer me on.
Like many families, mine has been deeply affected by cancer — through recent losses, ongoing battles, and moments of survivorship. It’s with this in mind that I’m committed to raising funds that will support cancer research and vital patient programs.
I understand that times are challenging, and not everyone may be in a position to give. But if you feel inclined or are able to contribute, I’ve included the link to my fundraising page below. Any amount, no matter the size, is genuinely appreciated — as is simply spreading the word.
