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.

Week 3 update

Friday 22nd May

Week 3 of the run journey and we are just shy of $3,000 raised!

What started as a simple goal of raising $100 has turned into something truly amazing. 

This week included a long run along the beautiful Parkway, with 4 little ducklings waddling beside the path — it was like the kids were with me the whole time, there is no escaping them, lol. 

The kilometres are adding up and the support continues to mean the world to us. Thank you to everyone cheering us on and helping us make an impact together.

Two Weeks Down — Over $2,000 Raised!

Two weeks in, and we’ve raised just over $2,000! This week was all about teaching the kids consistency — continuing to show up, ask questions, set goals, and keep fundraising even when it feels hard.

We were also lucky to have a visit from our local councillor, Glen Gower, who came out to show his support and solidarity. One of the kids immediately asked, “Can he run with us?”

Dad has really been pulling up his socks and putting in the kilometres, while the boys continue turning every run into a competition. Zara, meanwhile, is taking a well-earned little break.

One of the sweetest moments this week was Karolina bringing home a book about Terry Fox and feeling inspired by his fundraising, determination, and goal setting.

Two weeks down, two more to go — thank you everyone for supporting and encouraging these kids along the way!

Week 1 down

Friday 8th May
Week 1 down, and many kms and funds raised for children in need. The kids started strong, completing a 4 KM run earlier this week. Many questions raised regarding the purpose of the run, and future goals such as running across Canada to raise funds. Karolina is leading the pack, with consistency and a steady pace. Zayn and Kristiano continue to compete every run and have to be reminded that we are working together. Zara, the life of the party, will run, walk and sometimes bike to keep up with the older crew. Thank you everyone, for sharing our page, and donating to this important, and very worthy cause. We are so grateful. Week 1 down, 3 more to go! Let's go!!
