Hello! My Name is Arseni.

As many of you know, my 22 year old little sister Michelle has been diagnosed with leukemia / GVHD. This has been an incredibly challenging time for our family, and it's something we could never have prepared for. Michelle hospital stay and recovery has just been prolonged immensely due to the stem cells transplant complication.

Michelle was recently diagnosed with graft vs host disease, which is extremly dangerous and could take years to treat. As a big brother im not sure how to help her other than raising awareness and funds for Michelle, Dawson and there little man Theo. Dawson was forced to take 6 months off work to support Michelle and Theo has been staying with my parents.

To show support I will be running / walking 100 km, not just as a physical challenge, but as a way to raise money and awareness for leukemia. This run symbolizes our commitment to fighting this disease and our hope for a future where you'd adults and everyone affected like my sister can overcome it.

Leukemia affects countless families, and while it has deeply impacted ours, we believe in the power of community and collective action. Every step I take is for my sister, for every child battling cancer, and for the countless families standing by their side. Your support—whether through donations, spreading the word, or simply being here—means the world to us. It fuels our hope and strengthens our resolve. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps in the fight against leukemia and brings us closer to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Your generous donations will help support Michelle and her family! Michelle and Dawson are obligated to live in Calgary and rent an apparmtnent, which has been extremely expensive with no incomes. They have to stay in the city that way they can be close to the hospital and treatments going forward!

Thank you for being here and for supporting this cause that’s so close to our hearts. Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you.
