I’m running the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon to raise funds for Jamii. Support me in helping change lives!

This October, I’m running the 5K at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon to raise $1,000 for something deeply meaningful to me, the Belonging Program at Jamii. It’s a beautiful community initiative that offers older adults a chance to connect, create, and feel truly seen through art workshops, sing-alongs, outings, and more.

I’ve been working with Jamii since 2022, and during that time, I’ve had the joy and privilege of getting to know so many incredible older adults in our community. Whether we’re dancing, painting, singing, or just sharing stories, I’ve witnessed how much this program means to them and to me. It’s more than just workshops, it’s a space where people feel valued, creative, and connected. The program brings older adults together and reminds us all how important it is to feel a sense of belonging, especially as we age.

I have personally worked alongside the older adults and created bonds that have greatly impacted my life. I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation, big or small, helps keep this amazing program going.

Description

I am participating in the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon to raise funds to support Jamii's effort to change lives! From empowering girls to become leaders, to reducing isolation among older adults, Jamii creates spaces where community members of all ages feel seen, heard, and connected through the arts. We foster belonging, ignite creativity, and build lasting bonds across generations.

Every dollar you donate to my fundraising effort will support Jamii's outdoor events, indoor activities, Belonging Older Adults workshops, LAINI Youth programs. Your contribution will directly enable a community member to attend these programs for free and bring joy to someone's life in The Esplanade community and beyond. I truly appreciate any support you can offer.

Thank you for helping to fuel our arts and community spirit
