DOM’S FIRST 10K RACE 🏃‍♀️ | SUPPORTING PEDIATRIC CANCER CARE

I’m running my very first race!! And I'm so excited to be doing it for a cause that is deeply personal.

When I was 13, my younger sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Watching a three-year-old go through surgery and treatment is something no family is ever prepared for. The fear, uncertainty, and emotional toll left a lasting impact on all of us.

That’s why I've been training for, and raising funds for the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO). Their work goes far beyond treatment. They provide critical support, resources, and care for families navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives, both during and after cancer treatment.

If you’re able to support, any donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference. Thank you for helping me turn this race into something meaningful! 💛🎗️

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.

Every dollar helps children like Kian keep moving forward. 

Thank you for supporting POGO!
