My Story…
Welcome my dearest friends to my fundraising page for Giant Steps - School for Autistic children through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge. This school is very important to me as my son Nick is learning there for two years already and I see his tremendous growth.
This year is very different for everybody. But my wife and I are very excited to run in the inaugural Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race, taking place Oct 1-31st.
This year has been challenging for our family from different perspectives. And the biggest is possible closure of this school. We are fighting from all our hearts against this decision and meanwhile we are raising funds to get enough money for it.
Giant Steps school has an instrumental staff of teachers and therapists that afford children with AUTISM an opportunity to develop skills that will make a difference in their development. I am so grateful Nick has continued his journey this year with Giant Steps again. Please help me raise funds to reach our fundraising goal of $5,000 for the valuable therapies our son receives at GIANT STEPS.
Giant Steps receives no government or school board funding for these therapy programs. 100% of your donors’ dollars come straight to Giant Steps and will be used to help fund our kids’ hands-on speech, occupational and behaviour therapy programs THIS SCHOOL YEAR!
For those who cannot attend, you can donate still and any donation over $20 receives a tax receipt from Giant Steps.
With all my heart, thanks for your support!
