Help Make Sophie's Dream Come True!

Your support will help Sophie travel to Japan to meet her grandmother.

Paddling for Sophie!

This year, I’m paddling to support The Dream Factory and need your help to reach my goal!

The Dream Factory is so important for kids across Manitoba who are battling life-threatening illnesses. These kids desperately need a break from the routine of hospitals, medical treatments, and the very adult challenges that come along with their illness. Kids like Sophie.

How incredible would it be to be able to make Sophie's dream come true?

Last August, Sophie's family had their world come crashing down. Sophie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at 9 years old. Sophie's treatment schedule has been rigorous as her cancer is aggressive. She has been receiving regular chemo treatments and underwent a major surgery on her knee in November.

Sophie, her mom Jen and step-dad Bruce are facing Sophie’s cancer together as a team. When Jen told Sophie that it was ok to complain, Sophie immediately replied “complaining never helps to fix anything, so I won’t complain.” And she hasn’t.

Sophie has family in Japan and hopes to travel there to meet them, especially her Gramma.

Sophie’s Gramma lives at the base of a mountain called Mt. Takao, which rests at the very edge of Tokyo. It is a sacred mountain that has many ancient trees and a beautiful temple at the top. From the top of the mountain you can see Mt. Fuji and visit a monkey park.  

Sophie’s Gramma often walks up Mt. Takao, and it is Sophie’s dream to hike up the mountain with her Gramma.  

By donating to my campaign, you will directly help to make Sophie's dream come true. Donations like yours are what enable kids like Sophie to have really wonderful memories during an otherwise impossible time.

To be able to give the gift of a dream to a child in need is a truly wonderful thing. I would be so appreciative to have your support so that, together, we can bring Sohpie's dream to life right here in our community.

Thank you for helping to make Sohpie's dream come true!
