My Story…
This run is for Pekoe.
We lost her suddenly to unexpected lung cancer, and it’s hard to put into words what that really means. Our lives revolved around her—she was part of our family and a constant presence in our home.
I’m running in her memory, and turning that grief into action by fundraising for Kali’s Wish Cancer Foundation—a foundation that also supported us. They help families going through pet cancer and loss, providing care, compassion, and support during one of the hardest experiences a pet owner can face.
If you’ve ever loved a dog, you understand how much they give us. If you’re able to donate, it would mean a lot—not just to us, but to other families who need that same support.
Thank you for helping us honour Pekoe.
We’ll be carrying her with us every step of the way.
Description
It begins with, Kali, a beautiful golden retriever who passed away from blood cancer at just seven years old. Her guardian, and our Board Chair, Laura Leah English, turned her challenging journey into a promise: to ensure no one faces pet cancer alone. What began in Alberta has grown into the only charity dedicated exclusively to supporting families through the emotional challenges of pet cancer and loss. We now reach communities across Canada and the United States.
