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.

My Inspiration 🖤

Friday 9th May
In 2016 my life changed forever.

I went in for a routine ultrasound, expecting to see one baby—only to learn we were expecting TWO. What should have been a joyful moment quickly turned into one filled with fear when we were diagnosed with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a rare and serious condition. At just 18 weeks pregnant, we began weekly monitoring at McMaster Children’s Hospital—a place that quickly became our lifeline.

Despite the stress and fear, the team at McMaster welcomed us with warmth, knowledge, and compassion. They turned a terrifying time into a journey we could handle, giving this young, scared mom the strength to keep going.

On late evening May 27, 2016, I went into labor—six weeks early. After an emergency transfer to McMaster, the staff moved mountains to ensure the safety of my twins and me.

Thanks to their care and expertise, I delivered two beautiful boys on June 1st, and they received the life-saving care they needed in the NICU weighing only 3 pounds each. McMaster didn't just save my boys—they gave us a future.
Now, nearly nine years later, those tiny babies are thriving, joyful, and kind-hearted little boys.

This May, I’ve set a personal goal to run 100 kilometers to raise funds for McMaster Children’s Hospital—a place that holds my heart and helped shaped my life.  Every step I take is in gratitude for the care we received and in hope for the many families who continue to walk through their doors each day.
