My Story…

My sister Samara died when she was only one year old, I didn't get to meet her. I am running for a world where kids and babies don't have to die of cancer anymore. 

Description

Join Me in Supporting Kids with Cancer 💛


On September 19, 2026, I’ll be lacing up my shoes to take part in the Kitchener Kids with Cancer Run | Walk in support of an incredible cause: The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO).

At last year’s Kitchener Kids event, Jordan, Kian’s mom, shared their story with honesty and courage. After Kian was diagnosed with leukemia just before his third birthday, their world changed overnight—but through it all, POGO’s support helped carry their family forward.

“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

Each year, more than 4,500 families in Ontario face the unimaginable challenge of a child undergoing cancer treatment or follow-up care. While more than 85% of children survive, the journey doesn’t end there, two-thirds of survivors are at risk of long-term effects from their cancer or treatment.

Funds raised through this event will directly support:

💛 Financial assistance for families, helping cover out-of-pocket costs during treatment

💛 Support for survivors, including personalized school and workplace counseling

💛 Important research into the long-term effects of childhood cancer

 
Please 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 truly helps children like Kian keep moving forward.


Thank you so much for your support 💛
