Help Carolyn raise money

For participating in Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race 2020

My Story…

Trying something different this year—my 12th year participating in this event! Happy to be able to run as part of a four-person marathon relay team in support of the work of Matthew House. 

Running is a great way to keep physically active and mentally healthy in these crazy times, and it is a privilege to join this marathon team in honour of all of the wonderful, resilient and resourceful people I have met at Matthew House!

Proud to wear the team shirt again:

My Toronto is Your Toronto

Description

Matthew House is a community of homes that welcome, shelter and assist newly arrived refugee claimants in Toronto. Our desire is to restore refugee's dignity and hope by providing emotional and physical support in a homelike setting to help them heal from their journey and establish new lives in Canada.  When we run for Matthew House, we send a message that says "my Toronto is your Toronto" for vulnerable newcomers like refugees. Join our team and help transform the lives of newly-arrived refugees. Thank you!
