In the months that Meagan’s family journeyed with their daughter’s cancer, they were tremendously moved by the outpouring of caring and concern for their child. Cards, e-mails, telephone calls, flowers, presents, visits, healing masses, school ceremonies, candle vigils, community fundraisers, donations to The Hospital for Sick Children in her name — all these acts of goodness and kindness are testament to the lives Meagan touched from around the world. How remarkable it is that her death could give birth to her legacy, a legacy of hope for all children living with brain tumours.
Meagan’s story is one of courage, spirit and hope.
Little Meagan was a couple weeks from her fifth birthday when she drew a special picture for Mother’s Day. Giving it to her mother she explained how the two people in the picture were mommy and daddy and the object above their heads was Meagan, a little angel who would always be with them. It had been five months since her diagnosis of brain stem glioma, a cancerous brain tumour whose effects were terminal. In the months she lived with cancer she was held by her mother’s warm embrace each and every night. In the days, she managed to live life to its fullest, as naturally as a child with her disease could. She went to pre-school when she was well enough, she played happily with friends when she was strong enough and she cuddled every little living creature she could. Meagan passed away quietly on June 17, 2001 with her family at her side. Never once did she complain about her treatments, rather she focused her time making and wrapping little presents to give to medical staff and friends. These gestures were her five-year old way of saying thank you for their love and caring, and perhaps even goodbye.

“Meagan’s Walk was important to Jeff. It is not only about raising much needed research money, but also about keeping Jeff and Meagan and all of the angels’ memories alive and in our hearts.” – Heather Gibson, Jeff’s mom

Meagan’s Walk inspires and motivates us by directly connecting us with the children and families that need our best efforts.” – Christian Smith, Ph.D., Labatt Brian Tumour Research Centre,
SickKids
“We walk every year in memory of Cosimo, we walk in his spirit, but we also walk to honour other children, and for those who are living with the illness.” – Cindi, Jay and Mikayla Harding, Cosimo’s family
“I walk to create awareness in our communities, to share the remarkable message of hope for all families touched by children’s brain tumours and to celebrate the incredible advances in brain tumour research that have saved children’s lives.” – Ken Norris, Colliers International
“By walking, we are able to share our passion with all. We walk out of love.” – Isabella Suppa and Elisa Natarelli, students
