Story of Heroes - Chris
Chris
After only a few days of symptoms, 11-year-old Chris was rushed into the ER, hardly conscious. A biopsy showed that he had an inoperable brain tumour. Six months after completing the initial 70-week course of chemotherapy, the tumour was growing again. Chris was then placed on a more intense chemo drug for another 60-weeks.
While in treatment, Chris learned that the seed money used to develop his chemo protocol was provided by Meagan’s Walk, making him a direct beneficiary of our fundraising efforts.
Chris connected to Meagan’s Walk in 2010 and participated in his first Walk and Hug with a team of family and friends. Chris explains, “The event left me in awe as I realized the love and support surrounding me. I vividly remember a reporter asking what Meagan’s Walk means to me. I stood there speechless, and tears began pouring down my face.”
Now 20 years old, Chris is a Queen’s Chancellor Scholarship recipient and is studying commerce at Queen’s Smith School of Business, Kingston.
