My Story…
Dear friends,
For the third year in a row, I will be running a marathon--the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. Once again I have decided to raise funds for charity. This time I have chosen Sancta Maria House, a wonderful charity started by the Legion of Mary in 1961. For almost 60 years it has been providing a home and to at-risk young women in Toronto. Please have a look at the website for more info.
As you can expect, the official marathon was cancelled due to COVID-19 fears and restrictions. Rather than wait, I have decided to take part in the "virtual" option, which means that I will run the full marathon on my own. I'll be aiming for Sunday, October 25th (in a location I will soon choose). I've registered for "The Whole Shebang", which means that during the previous week or so, I will run a 5K, 10K, Half-Marathon, and then the Full Marathon. Hard work, but well worth it for the charity.
Thanks so much for your support!
Fr Eric
Description
Sancta Maria House aims to help young women strengthen their mental health, learn life skills and stay in school. Your donation will help us to provide for the girls in our care, both physically and emotionally.
We have a variety of teams and individuals participating in the Scotiabank Marathon event for Sancta Maria House. A Catholic priest who is a marathoner has volunteered to run “The Whole Shebang” (marathon, half marathon, 10k and 5k) on behalf of the agency. We also have board members running the marathon as a relay (10.5k) and staff and friends running or walking the 5k distance. This is truly an all involved event for us.
We believe that this effort and our appeal for support will provide a strong call to action and will raise our profile and assist in fundraising and friend building.

This is a great cause Father. I wouldn't even attempt 5K let alone doing The Whole Shebang over a week or so. Good luck.
