My Story…
SOBC is, and always will be a charity that's close to home for me. I started volunteering with SOBC in high school, and did so for 5 consecutive years. I helped out with golf, ClubFit, and basketball, where I became the head coach in Vernon for a couple years.
After a 10 year hiatus, I am returning to SOBC on the island, joining the Victoria golf program as a volunteer starting Thursday, May 2nd, 3 days before we run BMO.
I will keep this short and sweet. The athletes I had the pleasure of coaching in my time with SOBC Vernon were of the most amazing people I’ve ever met, and the experience truly shaped who I am, and how I look at the world. I am a firm believer in the importance of sport and physical activity, and nobody is more deserving of the opportunity to participate in programs like this than these athletes. I also want to recognize the organization as a whole — it is filled with great people who care deeply, and this helps create a community that’s really second to none.
If you are able, any donation will be greatly appreciated. I will be matching donations up to the first $150 to help get the ball rolling.
I wasn't supposed to run this race because of a knee injury, but I am BACK. So I figure..... Why not try to make a difference if I can?
YEEHAW BABY! 10 days out. Let’s run it up.
