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.

When your kid gets a diagnosis, it changes everything.

Monday 27th Apr

I’ve always supported the Stollery, but once you receive a medical diagnosis for your child it changes everything.

Juvenile Arthritis wasn’t on our bingo card, but here we are.

For the last 6 months we’ve had many appointments, taken an abundance of medication, regular bloodwork and eye tests, ultrasounds, X-rays, a sedated MRI, and 27 injections (will be 32 by the end of May!). 

My kid is a trooper, all of the doctors, nurses and other medical staff we’ve seen have been amazing. 

So even though I’m not a runner, the least I can do is run 1 KM for each injection my 6 year old has handled like a champ over the last 6 months. 

Wish me luck!

Thank you to my donors
