Help kids. Fight cancer. Make a difference.

I’ve been proud to run with the Toronto Women’s Run Series since 2017, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to use my running to support such an important cause. This year, I’m fundraising for Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario, an organization dedicated to supporting children and families affected by cancer.

As an educator, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply childhood cancer can impact a young person’s life—affecting not just their health, but also their education, friendships, and everyday experiences. It’s a reality that extends far beyond the hospital, and one that no child or family should have to navigate alone.

I’m honoured to contribute to a cause that provides meaningful support during such a challenging time. Thank you for helping me make a difference.

Description

Hello! 

This May, I’m participating in the PUMA Toronto Women’s Spring 10K/5K to raise awareness and critical funds for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO)—an organization that walks alongside families at every stage of a cancer diagnosis.

A childhood cancer diagnosis is often just the beginning of a long road ahead —one that doesn’t necessarily end when treatment does.

Even when a child is declared cancer-free, the physical, emotional, and everyday challenges can continue long after. That’s why your support makes such a difference.

What your support helps make possible:

  • Relief for families – Covering out-of-pocket costs like travel and meals, so parents can focus on their child—not the bills.
  • Support for survivors – One-on-one help with school and career planning when cancer or treatment makes learning harder.
  • Hope through research – Fueling studies that improve care, survivorship, and quality of life—today and for the future.


Kian's Story 


When Jordan’s son Kian was diagnosed with leukemia just before his third birthday, their world changed overnight. Months in hospital, painful complications, and years of treatment followed, but through it all, they knew they had the support of POGO. 

That’s the difference your generosity makes.

“Cancer has been a thief in our lives. It stole time, money, and energy from our whole family. It changed who we are, how we parent, and even who remains in our lives.” - Jordan, Mother of Kian.

Support me by making a donation to my page and help ensure families have the support they need, when they need it most.

Every dollar helps children like Kian keep moving forward. 

Thank you for supporting POGO!
