The Division of Pediatric Rheumatology is a partner with Cassie and Friends (A Society for Children with Arthritis and Rheu
matic Diseases) in the upcoming ScotiaBank Half Marathon/5 K race, taking place on Sunday, June 22nd.
Cassie and Friends, a nonprofit organization run by parents of children with arthritis, is one of the top three featured charities at the race this year. In the past 3 years, this small charity has actually been the top fundraisers! All funds raised directly benefit children and families in BC affected by arthritis, lupus and other rheumatic diseases who are cared for here at BCCH.
Join David Cabral, Lori Tucker, Kristin Houghton, Jane Hailey and the rest of our team, our patients, their parents, families and friends to raise awareness of juvenile arthritisand/or fundraise.
