All children need a hero in their life. For children diagnosed with cancer, they become a superhero!
On September 20th, caped crusaders and masked heroes will take over Barrie’s Waterfront. People will come from near and far, uniting together for a common cause - to celebrate the Superhero that lies within those children fighting cancer – the worst of all villains. All proceeds will be used to support local families in their cancer battle.
Join us for an event filled with zany fun and magical moments. Face painting, music, coloring, tattoos and so much more begin at 1015am.
Each and every day we encounter Superheroes… the police who protect our communities, the firefighters that fight fires, and the paramedics, nurses and doctors who save lives. But it’s the littlest Superheroes – infants, toddlers, children and teens - who because of a cancer diagnosis had no choice but to become a Superhero that is the most inspiring. We witness children find unimaginable strength to fight the battle of a lifetime. The Superhero Stomp is to celebrate those who have won the battle, to support and cheer on those currently undergoing treatment, and to remember those who have been taken away from us too early.
Whether it is your favourite character or one you created, heroes of all ages, abilities and creativity are welcome. Grab your superhero cape and mask, pull on your spandex tights, and join us for our 5k Run/Walk to support Candlelighters Simcoe, whose mission is to empower families on their childhood cancer journey lighting the way by providing hope, support and education.
