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.

Thank you all for your amazing support—I’m currently at $399 of my $500 goal, and every single dollar makes a difference for the kids and families CHEO supports. I've been in training mode and have already covered almost 100 kms as I prepare for the official challenge period from May 1st to 31st.

Recovery from recent surgery slowed me down a little, but it's also reminded me how powerful movement can be for healing—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether it’s solo with music or a walk/run with the family, each step is bringing me closer to the finish line.

I’m aiming for 200 kms in May and hope you’ll cheer me on or contribute if you’re able. Together, we’re making a difference!

🚨 Update! 🚨

I signed up for the Million Reasons Why Run to support CHEO, and I originally set my goal at 75 km. Well… I’ve already logged 83.38 km in just 10 days! 🏃‍♀️💨

So, it’s time to level up! I’m now aiming for [125 km/150 km – choose your goal] by the end of the challenge.

More importantly, this run isn’t just about distance—it’s about giving back to CHEO, which has done so much for my twins. ❤️ I’ve raised $183 of my $500 fundraising goal, and I’d love your support!

If you’d like to help, please consider donating. Every dollar goes directly to helping kids and families who rely on CHEO’s incredible care. Let’s make a difference together! 😃😃
