Help Mark raise money

Thank you so much for showing your support for me for this year's Ottawa Race Weekend (May 28-29, 2022).  I am running 5K to raise donations for the Canadian Red Cross.

Growing up in Manitoba, I have had the pleasure of meeting and being friends with many Ukrainians.  Throughout my career I have also worked with Ukrainians both locally and remotely, and have developed lasting friendships with people from Ukraine.

I felt compelled to help raise awareness and ask for your help to support the Canadian Red Cross Ukrainian Humanitarian Crisis Appeal, who is providing assistance to our Ukrainian colleagues, friends, and family who are suffering because of the conflict.

Money raised by the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal will allow the Canadian Red Cross to send personnel, equipment and funds to support the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement response in Ukraine and surrounding countries, including support to those displaced. This could include preparedness, immediate and ongoing relief efforts, long-term recovery, resiliency, and other humanitarian activities as needs arise.
