Our story…

BAM! That's how fast someone's life could change.

Hi! This is Matthew and Ella, and we are running the Montreal Beneva 10K to help put an end to cancer. Cancer touches both of our hearts and has affected both of us personally. 

For Matthew, this run is in memory of his grandfather, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He sadly passed away at just 79 years old.

For Ella, Her great-grandmother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and unfortunately passed away before she was born. This really impacted her family on how heartbreaking this disease can be.

Cancer has affected so many lives and we are both very passionate about continuing Cancer research and continuously donating to the Canadian Cancer Society. Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 to help cure cancer in all forms. Every donation big or small brings us closer to a future where no one should have to go through the pain of losing a loved one to cancer. 

Thank you all so much for donating to this very special cause, and remember we are better together!

Thank you for your time,

Matthew & Ella

Please do NOT make individual donations to our personal pages; we kindly ask that all contributions be made through the team (EllMatt) page.
