Meagan’s Walk: Creating a Circle of Hope

Meagan’s Walk: Creating a Circle of Hope began in 2001 and has raised more than $1.2 million in support of paediatric brain tumour research through its walk, gala, golf tournament and community fundraising.

Meagan’s Walk was inspired by Meagan Bebenek who passed away from a brain stem glioma two weeks after her fifth birthday. Each year on Mother’s Day the one-of-a-kind 5-kilometre walk starts at Ontario Place and ends with participants forming a human chain around The Hospital for Sick Children. The hug embraces all the children and the families within.
