Help kids and youth with Juvenile Arthritis (JA) and rheumatic diseases see that #HopeFlares when we unite for stronger families, resilient youth and a cure!Registration link https://cassieandfriends.akaraisin.com/ui/run2026/pledge/registration/start
In Canada, 3 in 1,000 kids face JA and related conditions like SJIA/Stills, lupus, fever syndromes, JDM and autoinflammatory disorders. These diseases can lead to chronic pain, disability, vision loss, mental health struggles, and even life-threatening complications—yet they remain drastically underfunded and overlooked, with only 20% awareness nationwide.
Team Cassie + Friends is Canada’s only movement 100% dedicated to the JA community. What began with one dad running in 2007 has grown into 750+ runners and thousands of donors rallying together annually for a pain-free future for kids!
By joining our run/walk, you’ll directly support:
Groundbreaking research into precision medicine, mental health, and a cure
Vital resources like free medical equipment, financial aid, and Comfort Kits
Mentorship for youth and caregivers
Education and connection events for families
Advocacy for earlier diagnosis and equitable care
Event Details:
Join us on Saturday, May 30th starting at the North Shelters in Kildonan Park in Winnipeg and walking/running together to create lasting connections and help amplify the fight for more research, awareness, connection, and support for The Children's Hospital of Winnipeg!
Together, we can bring hope, support, and brighter futures for kids facing lifelong challenges. Sign up today and make every step count!
