My Story…
Jóvenes Adelante helps create a radically expanding future for the students of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. We give financial and resource support for students to make a university-level education accessible. Many of our students are the first in their family to go to university. Funds raised through this race will go into supporting extra student needs, including computer upgrades necessary as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, full time online learning, or other emergencies. Please note that only Canadian donors will receive a tax receipt for supporting this event. Thank you for supporting higher education as the most important driver of change in any population.

Description
For ten years, AMISTAD CANADA (AC) has been working to improve the lives of Mexicans-in-need through health and education Projects delivered in partnership with fourteen Mexican NGOs.
Projects include: mobile medical-dental service to remote communities; healthy school meals; underwriting medical care for sick and disabled children; supplemental classes in subjects such as literacy, computer skills, English and the arts; primary to post-secondary scholarships; a school for the Deaf; and a therapy centre for children with various disabilities.
AC participation in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge will provide Mexican-Canadians, and other runners who are attached to Mexico, an opportunity to support these initiatives.
