My Story…
2020 has been a tough year for a lot of people. For me it’s been a year to reflect on the many things I have to be grateful for, including a good job, a safe home, a large and loving network of family and friends, and the good health that has allowed running to become an important part of my life. And of course I had a childhood that laid a solid foundation for me being able to achieve all of those things.
Every child should be safe, healthy, happy and have their own safety net of people to support them, but since many are not so fortunate, I’m back for another year in the Charity Challenge. This year it will be virtual event, and throughout the month of October I’ll be joining my CAFC colleagues and supporters to mark Child Abuse Prevention Month by raising funds and awareness for Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada.
If you’d like to learn more about who I’m running for (and who I work for every day), please visit our website.
Thank you for your support!
