In His Honour

Hi, my name is Anika Robertson. On February 6, 2026, I lost my father, Larry Allen Robertson, after a four-year journey with Stage 4 renal cell cancer.

He lived a full life, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had him as my dad.

In his honour and in celebration of his 74th birthday, I am challenging myself to 31 days sober while training to run a half marathon; 21.1 kilometres on November 8.

Throughout those 31 days, I’ll be raising money through BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, with all funds raised going towards the PROFYLE initiative, which focuses on advancing cancer research and finding more personalized treatment options for children and young adults facing hard-to-treat cancers.

Cancer has had an immeasurable impact on my family. Through this challenge, I hope to honour my dad’s life while helping create a future where more families get more time with the people they love.

Half Marathon Route and Appreciation

Wednesday 4th Nov
Only 4 days until race day! I am so grateful for all the support this has received. I could not have done it with out all of you <3 

The run will start at Jack Pool Plaza, circle Lost Lagoon, follow the sea wall up to Thurd Beach then down and around to finish by the Kits Beach volleyball courts. 

I have so much appreciation for everyone who took the time to donate, share, and run alongside me. My heart is filled with joy and I sincerely cannot wait to run with everyone! 

All my love, 
Anika
