Run for a Cause, Stay for the Cupcakes! 🧁

Every step you take helps provide warm, comforting blankets to children in Oncology at SickKids and across centres in Ontario fighting the battle of their lives. As well as provide wraparound care from the time of diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship through POGO. And the best part? Every finisher gets a delicious cupcake to celebrate crossing the finish line!

    Why We Walk

    An acquired brain injury can change a person's life in an instant. It can affect how someone thinks, moves, works, and connects with others. At Mind Forward, we help people rebuild confidence, develop new skills, and stay connected to their communities through rehabilitation, education, advocacy, and community programs.

    Every dollar raised will go toward Mind Forward's VISTA Program (Vocational, Independence, Skills Training & Advancement). VISTA helps individuals with acquired brain injury rediscover purpose and potential through vocational activities. Many individuals express a desire to return to work, but require support to rebuild confidence, refresh their skills, and find new ways to contribute. Through VISTA, they are given that opportunity.

    Sign up now to be a part of this incredible event and help create a community where people living with acquired brain injury can thrive. We look forward to walking with you!
