Twinkleheart is running for CHEO

All May long, I'm running around Ottawa to fundraise for the kids at CHEO, my local children's hospital. Every dollar fuels life-saving research and care.

Meet Twinkleheart

Hi, I'm Twinkleheart!

Why Twinkleheart, you ask? I was born with a heart condition and I spent the first two months of my life at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. The concept of Twinkleheart was developed as a fun way to raise money for my local children's hospital, CHEO.

As a teacher and a mom of two young kids, I have no problem clowning around. Also, running has always been my hobby, so why not combine the two!

For the month of May, I'll be running around Ottawa to fundraise for The Million Reasons Run. Join me if you can!

The Million Reasons Run

One million reasons. One huge May.

The Million Reasons Run is a 31-day national challenge supporting 13 children's hospital foundations across Canada, including CHEO right here in Ottawa. Runners set a kilometre goal, share their journey, and raise funds for the kids who need it most.
