Help John raise money

For participating in BLAIR'S RUN 2024

My Story…

On Sunday, September 8th, I'll be running with my Cabbagetown Boxing team to raise money for The Cabbagetown Youth Center, home to the Cabbagetown Boxing Club!

The Cabbagetown Youth Center offers important youth programming, including after-school recreational programs, evening youth programs, and parenting programs for teen parents, newly immigrated families, and socially isolated families.

This 2k Mini-Marathon fun-run has been raising money for neighborhood charities for 45 years. In 1999 it was renamed Blair's Run in commemoration of Blair Tully, an active community member and former chair of the fun-run.

As for the Cabbagetown Boxing club, in short, it's AMAZING. I've been working with former Olympian, Coach Johnny Kalbhenn for just under a year and I absolutely love it. I've learned so much about the sport and what I'm capable of, competed in an provincial and international tournament, and I've met great friends from all over the city. 

Both the Cabbagetown Boxing Club, and Cabbagetown Youth Centre rely on community support. If you're able to, please consider making a small donation (to me or my team!) in support of two worthy organizations.

Thank you!

John Robson
