My Story…
In one month, I’ll be running my first-ever half marathon! 🏃♀️ I have never been a runner, but I started running in memory of my grandfather, who passed away from bladder cancer.
Over the past year, I’ve been training for my first half marathon, and I’ll be raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society to support research into better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for bladder cancer. This is a cause that has deeply impacted my family and is very close to my heart. 💙
I’ll be thinking of my grandfather when I run next month, and I’m really grateful to everyone who has supported me throughout this process.
Any donation, big or small, would mean so much to me and my family. Thank you so much for supporting me and this cause. ❤️
Donate to help Alara raise money for 2026 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
