My Story…
Hi everyone,
Among many exciting running events in Toronto, I chose the Longboat Toronto Island Run as my first 10K - not just for the beautiful views or to check off my 2025 bucket list (a.k.a. “30 before 30”).
This event partners with SchoolBOX North, Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, and Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre, organizations dedicated to empowering Indigenous communities through education, culture, and care.
As an uninvited guest on this land, I am deeply grateful for the education and career I have had the privilege to pursue here throughout my 20s. With this decade coming to a close, I would like to take this opportunity as a small way to give back and take a step toward reconciliation and equal opportunity, including equitable access to adequate resources (like libraries!) that everyone needs and deserves.
If you would like to cheer me on from afar, please consider supporting my run and this cause here. Thank you so much for your kind consideration!
Warmly,
Risa (Lisa)
