Katie's Run began as an annual event in 2012 with the goal of raising funds for epilepsy research in Canada and to raise awareness about the realities of living with epilepsy. It ran until 2022. After much consideration, it was with great sadness that the Woudstra and Pogue Families decided that Katie's Run will no longer be held due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, Katie's ongoing health struggles and the Woudstra Family moving to Nova Scotia.

Over $412,000 has been raised through Katie’s Run thanks to the generosity of the incredible Katie's Run community. We still welcome donations through this fundraising page. Please continue to support epilepsy research.

The money raised is in support of the work of Toronto Western Hospital in the area of epilepsy research, specifically Dr. Valiante and his team at the Krembil Research Institute, Neuron To Brain Laboratory. http://www.neurontobrainlaboratory.ca/

When you donate, you are helping to fund the ground-breaking research, state-of-the-art technology and world-class medical leaders that make UHN exceptional health care possible.
