Run For Brain Cancer 4K

About the Event

Join the Run for Brain Cancer 4K on October 18, 2026, and help support vital research at Sunnybrook Foundation’s Gord Downie Fund. This community-run/walk through scenic Sunnybrook Park honors Sheila Rizzuto, a beloved figure who passed away from glioblastoma. The event aims to unite friends, families, and the broader community for an uplifting morning of solidarity and fundraising. With a 4 km course suitable for all abilities, participants will enjoy hydration stations and volunteer support along the way. Whether you're running or walking, your presence contributes to raising awareness and funds in the fight against brain cancer. Donations can be made at [https://secure.sunnybrook.ca/registrant/FundraisingPage.aspx?RegistrationID=5615734#&panel1-1](https://secure.sunnybrook.ca/registrant/FundraisingPage.aspx?RegistrationID=5615734#&panel1-1) to help reach the goal of $25,000.
