My Story…
Running for Their Tomorrow ❤️
I’m running the Kitchener Kids with Cancer Run because I love to run, but more importantly, because I’m incredibly fortunate to have three happy, healthy children.
I can’t pretend to know what it’s like to hear the words “your child has cancer,” or what families go through when their child’s health suddenly becomes the center of their entire world. I can only imagine how difficult and frightening that journey must be.
What I do know is that I’m grateful for the health of my own children, and I want to use something I love(running), to help families who are facing something no parent should ever have to face.
On September 19th, I’ll be running for the kids, the parents, the families, and for more healthy tomorrows.
Every mile is for their tomorrow. ❤️
If you’re able to donate, even a small amount can help support the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario and the important work they do for children and families affected by cancer.
Thank you for supporting me and, more importantly, Running for Their Tomorrow.
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).
| “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 💛
