  Oak Ridges Lions Run for Childhood Cancer

Our team at Oak Ridges Lions Club is thrilled to share a virtual event that we hope you will support and participate in! We are raising money for Childhood Cancer (one of our 5 pillars) in partnership with Southlake Regional Health Cancer Centre and SickKids hospital.

Christine Weerdenberg, District A-16 Childhood Cancer Committee Chairperson knows first hand how donations to this cause make a difference.  She has a grandchild who has received treatment. "I've been doing this job for 4 years now, and I know that the support we offer the hospital, the parents, and the kids, who are going through treatments and tests, really appreciate everything we do."  Please see Christine share her thoughts: here!
