Event Details
Between February 15 and February 22, 2025, the Strong Like Sloane Foundation hosted the Heartbeats for Hope fundraiser, with karma yoga classes, a strength workshop, eight fitness classes, drop-ins, a portion of massage fees, and even a silent auction for a birthday party, all raising funds for childhood cancer. With your help, Heartbeats for Hope raised over $7,000!
So what does that really mean? It means 28 families now have $250 to cover medical expenses that insurance doesn’t. Yes, even in Canada, some essential cancer treatment medications for kids aren’t covered by AHS or private benefits.
Because of you, these families have one less financial worry during an already impossible time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Heartbeats for Hope began in February 2024 as part of the Strong Like Sloane Foundation to honor children and families impacted by childhood cancer in Calgary. The Strong Like Sloane Foundation was founded to honor 7-year-old Sloane, who was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in May 2023. During her treatment, her family witnessed firsthand the overwhelming financial and emotional toll this journey takes on families.
