| Meagan's Walk 2008 on Mother's Day- Sunday, May 11th |
 |
| Following Meagan's death, Meagan's mother, Denise, with the support of her family and a caring community, started planning Meagan's Walk: Creating a Circle of Hope. |
| |
| Meagan's Walk raises awareness about paediatric brain tumours and funds for research into this devastating illness. Meagan's legacy is one of hope. |
| |
| Meagan's Walk on Mother's Day: |
|
- is a five kilometre event suitable for participants of all ages and abilities.
- follows a well marked and secure route, where participants receive support and assistance, as needed, from volunteer route marshals and police.
- begins at Ontario Place (9am) and ends at The Hospital for Sick Children, where participants join hands in a human chain, a Circle of Hope around SickKids. After the Human Hug is complete there is a street party with food and entertainment.
|
| This circle of hope is a touching and visible gesture of support for the children and their families within. As a community, united, we can make a difference! Celebrate Mother's Day in a most special way by participating in Meagan's Walk. |
