Our story…

From Tali we learned to view the world in a different way… to focus on what is important in life … to find joy amidst adversity. Through her words and actions, our little girl lit up the world, exuding kindness, gentleness and deep affection for those fortunate enough to be around her. May Tali’s strength and dignity continue to touch and inspire many more people for years to come.

Description

Moving Towards a Brighter Future for Kids with Brain Cancers


Our Impact

Since 2007, Tali’s Fund has been supporting childhood brain cancer research at SickKids Hospital, helping drive discoveries that change lives. See the impact we’ve made.

Brain tumours are still complex and hard to treat, but progress is happening. In February 2026, the DECRYPT-BABYBRAIN clinical trial launched, uniting families, researchers, and doctors to better understand and treat brain tumours in babies and young children.

By running with Team Tali, you’re powering research that gives families hope and helps turn breakthroughs into real cures.

Family Support Initiatives

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the toll on families is immense.

Tali’s Fund has partnered with like-minded organizations such as Kindred Foundation, Phoebe Rose Rocks Committee, and Childhood Cancer Canada to expand support for families across Canada facing childhood brain cancer. Through these partnerships, we aim to reduce financial stress, provide practical resources, and ensure families have the guidance and assistance they need during this challenging time. Learn more about these initiatives at: https://talisfund.org/family-support/

We also maintain an extensive database of family support resources on our website, actively promoting it so families can easily access information and help. Our commitment is to keep this resource current and continually add new supports as they become available.

How You Can Help

Join us in our fight by participating in the TCS Waterfront Marathon. Register to walk or run the distance of your choice—5K, half marathon, or full marathon.
