Help Melissa raise money

For participating in Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2023

My Story…

Hi everyone! 

I have finally signed up for my first big run since my knee surgery, and since my last long run, Around the Bay, in which I ran with my friend John. 

Since his passing, I told myself I wanted to run a race once a year (an ambitious goal to be honest, but gotta start somewhere haha) to raise money for Addictions support and Mental Health. Recovery took a lot longer than expected and then Covid hit. So, here we are! 

If you feel so inclined to donate to the Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services, the charity I chose for this run, please do. Any small amount means a great deal. 

Thanks for all your support and to those who have encouraged me along the way with getting back to sports and running - both big loves for me! 

Much love and peace
