My Story…
I came from a place were I thought there was no return but with the support and love from others I was able to turn my life around. Now I want to help love and support those who feel like there is no way out, these organizations on the downtown east side are giving food, shelter, and harm reduction supplies while supporting people just as they are. Help me to support those in need as I run 10km for PHS society.
