Help Sena raise money

For participating in 10KTO

My Story…

Earlier this year, I was laid off after spending two years trying to break into the industry. The stress of the situation caused edema, and I hesitated to seek medical help because I didn't have healthcare coverage. The illness developed into a contagious infection on my left leg. When I finally went to the walk-in clinic, the doctor warned me that I might lose my leg if I didn't go to the emergency room. It was the darkest moment of my life as an immigrant. The doctor prescribed strong antibiotics, and I focused on my recovery, determined not to give up on my dreams. One of my biggest goals is to participate in the Toronto Marathon 2024.
After taking a step back to focus on my recovery, I continued to create my own design crafts to express my passion and tell my story. I also achieved my personal best in a half marathon. In addition, I started joining Sunday running sessions at the Black Toe Running Club to challenge myself and run alongside more experienced runners.


My perseverance paid off. I recently received a job offer from a big company, reaffirming my unwavering faith and resilience. Now, I am determined to participate in a charity run with the belief that anything is possible if you believe in yourself.
