Our parents have taught us not to run away from our problems so we have decided to run to try to solve them! We want to make a difference for and others who are living with conditions that require special care from BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Some of us have had to use BC Children’s Hospital when we were younger; Isabelle was born 14 weeks premature, Logan was born with a cleft palette and
Marcus required tubes to improve his hearing. Some of us live with chronic conditions that require regular visits to BC Children’s Hospital; Jacob lives with permanent hearing loss that required Cochlear implants and Parker lives with Type 1 Diabetes. These are challenges that make our lives just a little harder. No doubt you know of others who use BC Children’s Hospital. Our objective is to run in communities from Williams Lake to Vancouver starting June 30th, 2012 arrivingin Vancouver July 7th, 2012. Our ages range from 6 to 16 years old and each of us will run approximately 5 km each day. Our original goal was to raise $25,000 but with the kindness and support from businesses, our community, family and friends we have surpassed our goal! We are so inspired from the overwhelming generosity that we plan to double our initial fundraising goal. Please assist us to raise $50,000 to help even more kids!
