Amir

My Story

7 Aug 2023

This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Why? Because right now, over 1,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.

Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.

Amir is my 4 year old grandson and he was diagnosed with Neo blastoma in November 2021,he is a very bright kid and has gone through 7 chemotherapy treatments ,operation and numerous stem cell transplants and right now his cancer is in re-mission ,so as a family we understand what its like to journey with Amir through this awful disease.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Your support will change little lives.

Thank you.
