My Story…

It has meant the world to me to be able to uphold my promise to Strachan to Make a Difference in the world. I can hardly believe that it's been 18 years and that this is the 19th version of what has evolved into a really wonderful community. I don't take a moment of it for granted. In 2010, I was one of ten who summitted Kilimanjaro and raised over $80,000. They were each the kind of people who say yes to big ideas and then make them happen. The best kind of people that have become some of my closest friends. Each year, some of them travel to Vancouver from Toronto and Montreal for the run. It is the highest honour that they keep showing up and I am the luckiest to have friends like them for life. We are fundraising as team this year, in part to give another dear and loyal friend a run for his money in the Team Challenge. In part because I coerced them. I love the idea of everyone being here in person for the 20th anniversary, but in the meantime, please donate

Description

Since 2007, the Strachan Hartley Legacy Run has been proudly organized entirely by volunteers, raising over $665,000 to empower youth through sports and education. All proceeds support the amazing Streetfront alternative education program at Britannia Secondary School.  

Streetfront is an alternative program at Britannia Secondary School that provides at-risk grade 8 to 10 students a unique combination of 60% core academics and 40% sports and outdoor education. The East Vancouver alternative program is economically, ethnically and socially diverse and serves kids who have struggled to cope in mainstream. Their keystone activity is running and their results are incredible - over 150 youth have completed marathons under Streetfront and their graduation rate is 96%.

Your support enables this amazing program to provide marathon entries, shoes, outdoor education, excursions and other life-enriching experiences for these deserving kids. 

“If you believe enough, if you care enough, if you fight enough, you can make anything come true. You’ll finish bloody and battered but you will cross that finish line. There’s no doubt about that. Nobody is giving up. Not on this day.”  

Trevor Stokes, Head teacher at Streetfront
