At 57 years old, Samm Simon is running from Stratford to Tobermory for something far bigger than himself. He’s doing it for his wife battling terminal cancer for the third time and to support cancer organizations helping others fight the same battle.
“What she goes through, this is nothing what I’m doing.”
That kind of strength deserves support. Donate, share, or simply help spread the word. Every bit matters.
