My Story…
Thirteen years ago, a motely crew of strangers all connected to Aimee-Noel (Hartley) Mbiyozo came together with a common goal of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and raising funds for SHLF in the process.
And in the years since, many of us have continued to volunteer with the organization and travel to Vancouver annually for the Run. It's a weekend filled with belly laughs and the warm fuzzies you get by giving back.
Read more about the cause below, and if you're in Vancouver, come for the Run - rain or shine you will leave smiling.
Description
Donate to help me raise money for Streetfront!
The Strachan Hartley Legacy Run is a 100% volunteer event that exists to provide youth the opportunity to achieve their full potential through sports and education. Make a difference. We believe in the inherent power of sports to educate and develop young people in a positive manner – to teach crucial life skills that can make a difference between success and failure; perseverance and giving up; between potential fulfilled and potential wasted; between energy used for the benefit of society, and energy used against it.
Your donations will go towards the incredible Streetfront - an alternative program at Britannia Secondary School that provides at risk grade 8 to 10 students a unique combination of 60% core academics and 40% sports and outdoor education. The East Vancouver alternative program is economically, ethnically and socially diverse and serves kids who have struggled to cope in mainstream.
Streetfront students and graduates are remarkable young people with great stories of personal triumph. By seeing the inherent value of each individual student and investing in their emotional, spiritual, mental and physical development, students unlock their own potential. Streetfront graduates have a 96% high school graduation rate. Most go onward to study, work and become active citizens.
Thank you for your support!
