My Story…
Hello all!!
I AM SO BEYOND EXCITED TO BE RUNNING MY FIRST FULL MARATHON THIS YEAR!!! This has been a goal of mine the passed couple of years, and after completing the half marathon last year, I remember crossing the finish line and thinking "oh hell ya I can run the full!". Training for the half gave me purpose during this pandemic, and if I wasn't able to pound pavement on a weekly bases my mental health would have been in jeopardy. Running the half was such an accomplishment, and the biggest high was being able to run/fundraiser for an amazing cause!
This year I will be running / fundraising for the BC Cancer Foundation. Like so many family's in Canada, Cancer has hit close to home (F@ck Cancer!) Please take time to read their mission statement below. Last year I had a goal of $500 and we raised over $700 (thank you to everyone who donated). The goal this year is $2000 and am confident it could be more. All donations will be going towards BC Cancer Foundation, and if you are unable to donate at this time I hope to have your support as I attempt to cross this finish line :)
