My Story…

Reading is a right and every child (and adult) should receive the right kind of support to be able read with accuracy and fluency. The journey from 'learn to read' to 'read to learn' is a crucial one and requires evidence-informed instructional practices. Reading instruction in our schools should follow evidence instead of trends and fads. The fascination with so- called newer and progressive trends has deeply and negatively impacted reading skills of our children. Dyslexia Canada is on a mission to make education an evidence-informed profession and I wholeheartedly support this mission, for I deeply care about learning. 

Please join me in supporting this great organization as I run this year's Toronto half marathon to raise funds for Dyslexia Canada so that they can keep doing the great work for all learners.  

Description

I will be running in the 2024 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon and would like to ask for your help in supporting Dyslexia Canada in its mission to ensure that every child in Canada with dyslexia has access to a fair and equitable education. Did you know that dyslexia affects 10-20% of the population, which means that more than 750,000 children in public schools have dyslexia?

Dyslexia Canada has made some great progress in its mission to provide outreach and support to families with children with dyslexia, change the education system, and bring awareness and recognition to dyslexia. However, there is still a lot of work to do.

Please join me in supporting this charity that is very close to my heart and help ensure that all children have the resources available to them to achieve greater literacy and personal accomplishments. Thank you!
