$Every year, 1,500 children across Canada face a devastating diagnosis of cancer, with brain tumours remaining the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Yet despite this sobering reality, pediatric cancer research continues to receive just a fraction of total cancer research funding. This Saturday, thousands of Torontonians will take visible action against this funding gap as they participate in the 24th annual Meagan's Walk & HUG, a powerful community event raising vital funds for childhood brain tumour research.$

Stacey Ellis was born into chaos. Far from the support of a firm foundation that should be the staple in every child’s life, Stacey found herself born to an addicted father, and an addicted mother suffering from mental illness. Some of her earliest childhood memories consist of her mother feeding her alcohol at the age of five because she thought it was funny to watch a young one stumble around, obviously drunk. Her mother was often gone for days, leaving Stacey to attend to her younger sister, and become a mother figure at such a young age.

Most of us consider ourselves to be allies to an extent - we wear our rainbow patches and BLM tote bags publicly and repost information on the new legislation or protests on our Instagram. Or, maybe we just condemn racism internally or think that since we have friends from different countries, we are allies. But allyship is more than that - it’s not an identity or a passive state - it’s about being actively engaging in the issues that face marginalized and underrepresented groups. The goal, in the end, is for underprivileged people to feel supported, but while 82% of White men and women report being allies to people of color, only 45% of Black women consider that they have strong allies at work.
