Help us raise money

Charlotte’s Superstars has been our team since the very beginning of Team Cassie + Friends London. When we helped bring this run to our city years ago, we knew it was about more than just fundraising—it was about showing Charlotte that she’d never walk this journey alone. Every step of the way, she’s been surrounded by support, compassion, and an incredible crew of friends, family, and community.

Our story began when Charlotte was just two years old. A swollen toe turned into a year-long journey of unanswered questions, doctors’ visits, and finally, a diagnosis we’d never expected: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. We had never heard of JIA before, but it quickly became a part of our everyday life. Since then, Charlotte has faced more than her fair share of challenges—medications, joint injections, hospital visits, infusions, and the emotional weight of living with the pains of rheumatic disease for almost a decade.

But we’ve also found hope.

Cassie + Friends gave us the education, connection, and community we were missing. From resources at our hospital to meaningful friendships through the Youth Mentorship Program, this organization has changed our lives.

Now that I, Charlie's mom, work as the Family Engagement Coordinator for Cassie + Friends, I have the honour of helping families across Canada find the same support we did.

We walk, run, and rally each year with one goal in mind: to ensure no child with juvenile arthritis ever feels alone. 💙💚

Join Charlotte’s Superstars and be part of a movement that’s making a real difference—one step, one story, and one superstar at a time.
