Welcome to my fundraising page for Walk Her Way 5K!

Walk Her Way 5K is a virtual run/walk fundraiser from May 13-16 to raise $50,0000 for Compassion House Foundation, an Edmonton-based charity that supports women who must leave their homes for cancer care. I've worked at the Foundation for a year now and can attest to its amazing people and services who change lives for the better everyday!

I am walking in Walk Her Way 5K in memory of my mom, who passed away from cancer in 2016. 

Our family was fortunate enough that my sisters and I could easily drive my mom to-and-from the Cross Cancer Institute for treatment. Other women and their families, especially those who live outside major cities, don't have this same access to cancer care. As if a cancer diagnosis wasn't devastating enough, living far away from treatment also comes with financially and emotionally fraught decisions like making the long commute, leaving home for a lonely and costly hotel room, or forgoing treatment altogether. Compassion House Foundation provides accommodations and support services so no woman has to go through the cancer journey alone.

To celebrate my 30th birthday coming up on April 27th, I'm kicking off my fundraising with a $30 donation. Now, I'm asking 30 people in my life to donate $30 (or more!) to raise $930 by my birthday. Can you help? 

P.S. Any donation of $25 or more will receive a tax receipt. 

Thank you for the support!
