Our Story
There is truly no greater feeling than participating in the #SL10K run each year. It’s a chance to give back and support children fighting cancer, something I am proud to do after all that #SickKids and #CampFireCircle have done for our Mighty Mateja!
When Mateja was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at just 5 months old, it was a shock we never saw coming. But from that moment, we knew we had to fight for her with everything we had. Today, I’m beyond grateful to share that after an incredibly tough battle, our Mighty Mateja is a true champion. She’s now 13 1/2 years old, living with so much energy, joy, and a smile that lights up every room.
Every year, we participate in this run for our #MightyMateja, for every child going through their own fight, and for the warriors who continue to inspire us all. We are forever grateful to our family and friends who have supported us throughout this journey, and we continue to feel the love and strength they’ve given us every step of the way ❤
This year, I’m asking for your help to make a difference. The #SL10K run on Sunday, May 11th, is more than just a race. It's an opportunity to help #CampFireCircle provide children with cancer a space where they can just be kids. It’s about giving families the community they need during the toughest times of their lives, surrounded by love, support, and strength.
Please consider supporting us and the incredible work that #CampFireCircle does. Your donation makes a real impact and helps create a world of hope for kids like Mateja and so many others.
