My Story…

Mindful Move - Taking Bold Action 

Hello, my name is Nikesh Amit. I am a social citizen, a certified life saver, a swim instructor, and an aspiring marathoner.

I have never been a serious runner. In fact, I have only started running seriously this year when COVID 19 invaded our lives. I had no other options available other than walking and running in the streets, parks, and trails of Mississauga, Ontario.  

We all know, life can be fragile and precarious. This is particularly true under COVID19.

But we all have a choice, in any life situation, either to be beaten by it or take inspired action.

I choose to take a MINDFUL BOLD action every single day.  

I choose to walk, run, or swim. And I invite you to do the same. 

Join me, please.

You can do it solo, stay safe, and stay positive. It is the best medicine that we have available right now to keep ourselves healthy -- both physically and mentally.

Right now, we need communities of support so that we can stay together while staying apart. I am raising money for people in our community who need support, especially those that are living on the margins.

Any money donated will go to your choice of the Life Saving Society of Ontario and CRS (Canada Running Series) Foundation to help develop community programs. These programs will help people make healthy choices and contribute to resilience through swimming and running.     

I know, first-hand, that healthy choices can facilitate positive change, even transformations. Only by making lifestyle choices I have lost more than 50 lbs recently and reversed a severe medical condition called Sleep Apnea! 

As a result, I have more vitality, productivity, and joy in my life!  

Please join this movement of being mindful and active! Let us overcome COVID19 -- together! Get involved, Get mindful and active. 

If you would like to support others, please donate today.  Thank you.  

Description

Funds raised will support the communities we run through, and grass-roots, community fitness programs, with special emphasis on kids and running. Our goal is to pilot a “Canada Running Schools” program in select schools in to encourage active and consistent running at elementary schools.
