This May, I'm taking on a 31 day running challenge in support of my local children's hospital!

Every day, over 5,000 children receive care at a children’s hospital in Canada and by supporting me, you’ll be helping fund life-saving research at your own local children’s hospital. Funds for research are needed now more than ever, and your support will allow researchers to uncover new cures and gentler treatments for kids.

Show your support by donating now!

I've raised since for my local children's hospital.

I'm running for HSC Winnipeg Children's Hospital

Update May 22- The final push!

Friday 22nd May
We are officially halfway to our $2500 goal for the Million Reasons Run 💙

These kms haven’t always been easy to fit in lately between Chloe’s appointments, family life, and travel — but this run means so much to our family, and we are determined to finish these last 10 days strong.

I was incredibly honoured to be asked to be a pacesetter this year. As someone who joined this journey wanting to support Winnipeg Children’s Hospital, give back to the place that has cared for our daughter, and help raise awareness for families walking similar paths, being asked to be a pacesetter means more than I can put into words.

One of the best parts of this challenge has been getting outside with the kids. The walks, runs, fresh air, and time together have honestly been so good for all of us.

For this final push, I’ll be focusing on early morning runs and giving it everything I’ve got. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, encouraged, shared, and cheered us on along the way. Every single kilometre and every dollar matters. 💙

Why I run

Monday 9th Mar

Supporting the Winnipeg Children’s Hospital Foundation is deeply personal for our family. My daughter, Chloe, receives ongoing care through the Children’s Hospital, and we make numerous trips to Winnipeg each year for appointments, testing, imaging, and treatment. The doctors, nurses, and staff have shown our family incredible compassion and dedication, and their care means the world to us.


This cause is very close to our hearts, and we are so grateful for everything the hospital does for children across Manitoba. If you’re able, I would truly appreciate your support through a donation to help ensure other families continue to receive the same life-changing care Chloe has. ❤️


Thank you to my donors
