5000 Metres for MRKH Fundraiser

This year's 5000 Metres for MRKH Fundraiser is taking place on Sunday, May 24, 2026.

Walk, run, or roll 5000 metres to raise awareness for the 1 in 5000 diagnosed with MRKH. Your participation helps MRKH Canada continue to educate, empower, and support individuals and families across Canada affected by MRKH Syndrome.

Each individual who signs up is encouraged to bring in donations to help us reach our goal of raising $10,000 for MRKH Canada to put towards initiatives that provide support, awareness and resources for people with MRKH and their supporters.  Everyone who registers and/or donates will receive a tax receipt and will be entered for a chance to win a door prize!

You choose where and how you complete your 5,000 metres — whether that’s in your neighbourhood, at a local park, on a treadmill, or somewhere that feels meaningful to you. This year, we're also encouraging participants across the country to connect in-person by offering to host informal meet-ups within their communities, where others can walk, run, or roll together – a great way to connect with others with MRKH while also supporting MRKH Canada. Our hope is to see more MRKHers finding one another in their own communities — forming relationships, friendships, and support systems that can continue long after this event. However you choose to participate, every step helps build awareness, connection, and community across Canada.

You can join a meet-up happening near you or become a Community Host by sharing a time and place where others are welcome to take part together. 

CURRENT COMMUNITY MEET-UPS:

Saskatoon, SK – 10am in Rotary Park with Savannah

Toronto, ON – Details TBD!

OUR MISSION

MRKH Canada's mission as the first and only Canadian MRKH charity is to educate, empower and support those diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH) within Canada and beyond through advocacy, events and other organized initiatives. Our organization stands as an advocacy group, support network and resource for both the medical community and those diagnosed with, or supporting those with MRKH. We aim to increase the knowledge and decrease the shame and stigma attached to the condition, as well as to improve the quality of life and care for those living with the syndrome. 

WHAT IS MRKH SYNDROME?

MRKH Syndrome is a congenital condition that affects the development of the reproductive system in approximately 1 in 5000 females (46, XX). It causes the underdevelopment or absence of the uterus, cervix & vaginal canal and may also impact kidney, skeletal, hearing, heart & mental health.
