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 Stollery Children's Hospital

2026 Update

Tuesday 12th May
The past 6 months have been a challenge for me.  I came home sick and spend weeks in bed.  After a number of different medications, blood tests, lung tests..... I wasn't sure if I would be able to participate this year though I really wanted to.

As May drew near, I decided that since  the distance is set by the participant, I could participate if I lowered my annual distance.

The last week of April, I got hit with another bug and have been in bed for the past two weeks.  As the days have gone by I was again worried that I wouldn't be able to take part in the challenge.  Again it was about adjusting the expectations.  And though it may not be running like I've done in the past, I will get steps in. 

But as much as the last 6 months, and two weeks have been a struggle for me there are kids that are struggling with much worse things.  And these kids and their families need the support from the amazing Canada children's hospitals and the life-saving research and treatments they provide.

So though I may not be back at 100%, I will lace up my shoes and put one foot in front of the other to help make a difference in the lives of children across Canada. 

As I work towards my step goal, I ask that if you are able, to help me reach my fundraising goal!!

Thank you to my donors
