My Story…
Dear friends,
I will be participating in the BMO Vancouver Marathon on Sunday, May 5th as part of Team KGMS in support of Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School (KGMS) and its dedication to providing personalized education to students with learning differences (such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and anxiety).
MY FUNDRAISING GOAL: $500
As an independent school and non-profit, KGMS supports individual growth through multisensory opportunities, 1:1 tutoring, co-taught classrooms, and social development programs. Your donation will play a vital role in providing equitable access to education for children who learn differently.
All funds that we raise as a team will support acquiring new sensory and adaptive technology equipment for the school. This will help expand our resources to support the growth of neurodiverse learners in play, developmental growth, and social regulation.
Thank you for contributing to empower the youth while showing them that they are capable of achieving a bright and promising future.

Description
I am running in the BMO RUN4HOPE to support children with learning differences such as autism, anxiety, ADHD and dyslexia!
Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School is proud to announce its enthusiastic participation in the BMO RUN4HOPE event, a charitable run aimed at making a positive impact in the community. This year, our school community is running with a purpose - to raise funds in support of children with learning differences. We believe in the power of education and inclusivity, and by joining this event, we aim to create a brighter future for children who face unique learning challenges. Together, we are not only running for a healthier lifestyle but also running to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Join us in our journey to empower these young minds and provide them with the opportunities they deserve. Together, we can make a real change.
By supporting my run, you are:
- Supporting a healthier family life: KGMS assists and eases the heartache and stress that school struggles bring home. We provide in-school OG tutoring and the support and guidance that many families must seek outside of a traditional school environment.
- Supporting the value of education, inclusion and fairness: your donation will provide equitable access for children who learn differently. By donating, you help us continue to provide a safe and comfortable learning environment for our K-12 students.
- Honouring the KGMS teachers, tutors, counsellors and support staff who have made a difference in a child's life, and for the essential work they do every day. You are helping a child understand that they are capable and deserving of a bright future.
Thank you for your donation!
