Personal Message:

This year, I am embarking on a significant journey: my first Comrades Marathon. More than a personal challenge, I’ve chosen to make this journey about something much bigger—advocacy, compassion, and support for those who need it most. Daisy-Rae will be running for CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation), an organization that holds a special place in my heart. Running has always been my passion, but now it has become a way to amplify a message of hope, resilience, and unity. CHOC is deeply meaningful to me as it allows me to honour loved ones and a dear friend who has faced the impact of cancer, as well as those we have lost to this battle. Through this initiative, I hope to contribute to the critical emotional and practical support CHOC provides to children with cancer and their families. By raising funds, we can help ensure these children receive the care, resources, and hope they need during an incredibly difficult time. I would be deeply grateful for your support— Every contribution, no matter the size, will help me reach my goal that will provide the support these children and their families so urgently need. Thank you for standing with me and for CHOC. Together, we can make every step of my journey count.
