Aidez Monica à recueillir des fonds

On February 4, 2012, I led the organization of the ORCC's first spinathon. 

The next year, I promised everyone in my network that I would get spin for three hours, in order to raise $3000. And I did it! 

It's now over 10 years later. A lot has changed, as we all know. But one thing is the same as it ever was: sexual and gender-based violence continues to affect people from all walks of life. And if anything, the pandemic has exacerbated the situation. 

It is unacceptable to me that so many people in our community cannot get the help they need because of a lack of funding. So this year, I'm joining ORCC's team for the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. It has been just over one year since I became very ill with COVID, but I've come a long way. I'm really happy that I'm now well enough to participate in the 5K (ok, I'll be walking, but hey, cut me a little slack ;))

Doing this walk this year means a lot to me. I've decided to set a goal of raising $5000 for ORCC. Yes, it seems audacious. But I raised $3000 over a decade ago, and we all know that things just cost more these days. So, $5000 it is. I really hope my network will help me get there!
