Help me reach my goal!
Hello friends!
On October 15th I am running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. It has always been a dream of mine to run a marathon, and in particular running a Boston Marathon-qualifying time of sub 3 hours and 30 minutes. Training for the marathon this summer has been one of the most difficult and gratifying experiences of my life, and I can't wait to see what I can achieve.
Beyond running, another huge passion of mine is sustainability. As someone who grew up running in the farm fields outside of Ottawa and now living by St Lawrence Market in Toronto, I've taken a particular interest in sustainable agriculture and food waste. While training for this marathon I listened to George Monbiot's book Regenesis: Feeding the World without Devouring the Planet. I learned about the volatile state of our world's soil and the importance of sustainable agriculture and food waste practices in the coming decades.
For these reasons, on October 15th I will be running for the largest food rescue charity in Canada - Second Harvest (Food Rescue Charity In Canada | Second Harvest). Second Harvest finds surplus, edible food that businesses can’t use, and through their food recovery network, gets it to the people in our communities who need it.
If you would like to contribute to my race, it would mean the world to me if you would consider donating to Second Harvest. Every dollar counts.
Thank you for your support!
Kate
