Meagan’s Walk is a fundraising event for all ages and abilities. The community walks from Fort York to The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) where they join hands to form a human hug around the hospital, sending a clear message to all the children, families, and care-giving professionals inside that they are not alone.
Proudly presented by Colliers International, Meagan’s Walk is named in honour of a little girl who passed away shortly after her fifth birthday, less than six months after a diagnosis of a brain stem glioma. Through that journey, her loving family learned that brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in young people age 20 and under. Meagan’s Walk was founded with a mission to change that alarming statistic. To date more than $3.6 million has been raised for paediatric brain tumour research at the Brain Tumour Research Centre at SickKids.
