WAVERLEY:  The sun shone on approximately 30 participants in a fundraising run held in support of a young girl from Fletchers Lake.

Olivia Demone suffers from Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT)—also known as Louis-Bar syndrome. The family found out her diagnosis in September 2018.

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare, neuro-degenerative, autosomal recessive disease-causing severe disability.

On Oct. 7, Olivia’s Some Run was held at McDonald Sports Park in Waverley.

The run took participants through some of the trail systems at the park, located off Champions Way (down past the entrance to Cheema Aquatic Club). It was under five kilometres.

Many of those who were participating wore Olivia’s favourite colour, blue, or swag from being a member of Olivia’s A-T Warriors!.

Dogs were also welcomed on the run but had to be leashed.
