Join Team Ava: Support Her Healing Journey

Meet Ava—a bright, energetic 11-year-old who lights up every room with her kindness and joy. She’s a fierce competitor on the hockey rink and the soccer field, but more than that, she’s a loving daughter, a wonderful sister, and a true fighter.

Recently, Ava was diagnosed with grade 3 ependymoma, a rare and aggressive brain tumor. This news has changed life for her and her family in an instant, and as they navigate this challenging journey, they need all the love and support they can get.

Ava is surrounded by an incredible team—her parents, her two biggest fans (her brothers!), friends, teammates, and an entire community ready to stand beside her. Right now, we want to do everything we can to lift them up. Whether it’s through kind words, prayers, sharing this page, or contributing in any way, every act of support makes a difference.

This fundraiser is about standing together for Ava. Your support—big or small—will help her family focus on what truly matters: giving her strength, love, and the best care possible. If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go toward medical bills, travel costs, and everyday expenses so they can be by Ava’s side every step of the way.

If you can share her story, you’re helping more than you know. And if you can send love, prayers, or encouragement, please do—because Ava and her family need to feel the incredible team they have behind them.

Ava is a warrior, and with all of us by her side, she will never fight alone.

Thank you for being part of Team Ava.
