Our story…
Welcome our dearest friends to our fundraising page for Giant Steps - School for Autistic children through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge. This school is very important to us as our son Nick is learning there for two years already and we see his tremendous growth.
This year is very different for everybody. But we are very excited to run in the inaugural Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race, taking place Oct 1-31st.
This year has been challenging for our family from different prospectives. And the biggest is possible closure of this school. We are fighting from all our hearts against this decision and meanwhile we are raising funds to get enough money for it.
Giant Steps school has an instrumental staff of teachers and therapists that afford children with AUTISM an opportunity to develop skills that will make a difference in their development. We are so grateful Nick has begun his journey this year with Giant Steps again. Please help us raise funds to reach our fundraising goal of $5,000 for the valuable therapies our son receives at GIANT STEPS.
Giant Steps receives no government or school board funding for these therapy programs. 100% of your donors’ dollars come straight to Giant Steps and will be used to help fund our kids’ hands-on speech, occupational and behaviour therapy programs THIS SCHOOL YEAR!
For those who cannot attend, you can donate still and any donation over $20 receives a tax receipt from Giant Steps.
With all our hearts, thanks for your support!
