Help Andrew raise money

For participating in 2020 Mississauga Marathon

My Story…

There is a verse in the bible that says "do not grow weary in doing what is good." I've really appreciated these words lately, reminding me to not lose sight of our goal of walking with youth in Etobicoke towards Peace, Joy, and Belonging. After 12 years of running youth programs in our community - with over 1000 kids and their families taking part - it would be easy to grow weary, and sometimes I do. But the great thing about this job is that the youth keep showing up week after week, and so do we! And it really matters. Not only that, but so many of you (literally hundreds of people) remind us that we are not alone in this work. Yes, we're talking to you, the volunteer coach, freezie distributor, financial donor, greeter, community partner, prayer supporter, last-minute errand helper, encourager, or staff member! Thanks for all you do. So we press on, with our next crucial goal being this run. Would you help us reach our $8000 mark by giving and/or running with us?

Description

As we invest in youth wholeness, we believe young people will experience God’s love and life-changing power. As they do, it’s YU’s vision to see our 5 Gauges of Transformation — which are Renewed Character, Healthy Relationships, Rooted Identity, Joyful Service and Clear Purpose — come to life in each young person we serve and, through their influence, in their community and beyond.

Join our team on May 2-3 and together we will help our youth transform the City!
