Help Sharon raise money

For participating in 2021 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon

My Story…

As you know, I am a person of causes and a person of giving.  To support this, I believe in 'voting with your feet'.  In this case, ten-legged walking throughout the month of October to the health benefit of of my two dogs, me and anyone who wishes to walk the forests of Durham with us. 

As we walk for our health, we are also seeking to support Volunteerism through fundraising.

In May 2020 I joined the Board of Volunteer Markham seeking a chance to make a difference in my wider community by supporting volunteers from all sectors and demographics.  VM operates on a small budget with only a part time Executive Director and a few part time co-op students alongside volunteers.  VM cannot continue to do its good works for non profits and inspirational volunteers without funding. 

Please consider making a small donation to keep the lights on in these challenging times. Small acts of kindness the and the collective contributions of donors create a huge bounty of goodness through a multiplier effect! 

Follow me on IG @staylortratnik for scenes with Bijoux and Maisy as we make our Fall Forested Mini Marathon. Like and re-post my pics to help spread the good word.

Thank you!
