My Story…
UrbanPromise Toronto (UPT) is a non profit organization that runs programs to support families in high priority neighbourhoods within Toronto Community Housing.The aim is to reach a child with the love of Jesus , raise a leader through mentorship and discipleship, and they will be agents of change to restore community.
This year I'm excited to not only participate in a marathon relay, but I'll also be attempting a 5K run with my daughter!
It is a daunting task to run / walk around 13,000 steps for her, but her willingness to do so inspires me. Her motivation for running is to support 'daddy's friends' and give them a place to have fun.
Will you join us in supporting the families we serve in the warden woods community?
Description
Children living in Toronto Community Housing want what any kid wants...
>To be known, accepted and valued.
>To become just like their role models.
>To dream.
They're up against some tough realities...
>material poverty
>lack of resources
>destructive cycles
>broken families
>lure of drugs
>threat of violence
Which can make them feel unworthy, defeated, angry, hopeless.
BUT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE HOPE, AND EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW JESUS-THE AUTHOR OF HOPE ITSELF.
Join The Run for Promise Team - Raise funds supporting programs where children are known, accepted and valued by positive role models, providing opportunities to dream.
