Sasquatch 24 hour
for ostomy canada

Living with an ostomy can feel like navigating the world without a map — uphill, uncertain, and often in silence. It’s a life shaped by hidden challenges, quiet bravery, and a resilience most people never witness.

This year, I’m taking on a challenge that mirrors that experience. For 24 hours, I’ll run a 10 km loop with 500 m of climbing, repeating it again and again, through darkness, fatigue, and doubt.

The trail is steep. The night is long. The effort is real.

 

So is the reason behind it.

​

Every loop is for the people who face obstacles far heavier than anything I’ll encounter on the mountain. People who deal with stigma, isolation, and the fear of being unseen. People who deserve connection, dignity, and support.

​

That’s why I run.

That’s why Ultras for Ostomies exists.

And that’s why your support matters.

​

Your contribution to Ostomy Canada helps ensure no one has to face this journey alone. It fuels education, advocacy, peer support, and the resources that help people rebuild confidence and community.

 

When you give, you’re not just supporting my run:​

• You’re helping someone find their way out of the dark.

• You’re turning isolation into belonging.

• You’re reminding people that they matter.

 

I’ll keep climbing through the night. With your support, others won’t have to climb theirs alone.

Thank you for standing with me — and with every Canadian living with an ostomy.
