My Story…
I'm Running My First Half Marathon—Let’s Do This Together! 🏃♀️💪
This year, I’m taking on the TCS Half Marathon with the Hand Up Toronto team—my first-ever marathon! I’ll be running alongside my best friend, Monika Sokolski, and crossing off a major bucket list goal.
I’m especially proud to be running in support of Hand Up Toronto, a grassroots organization that delivers fresh, nutritious food to food-insecure families across the city. This cause is especially close to my heart—my mom, Joanne, is the Director of Marketing at Hand Up, and I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact they make.
1 in 4 households in Toronto struggle with food insecurity, and Hand Up reaches families that often fall through the cracks. Every dollar raised helps provide healthy food hampers directly to homes that need them most.
Your support will not only help me get to the finish line—it’ll help ensure more families have access to the food they deserve.
💚 Donate today and be part of something meaningful—with me.
Description
Help me fundraise for Hand Up From Hunger Toronto!
I’m raising funds to support Hand Up Toronto and together, we can provide food-insecure families in Toronto with twice monthly hampers of fresh produce and nutrient-dense non-perishables (rice, pasta and dried lentils and beans).
Here’s why this cause is important to me and how you can get involved, too:
Up to 1 in 4 households in Toronto face food insecurity and up to 80% of those households never go to a foodbank. Hand Up Toronto's distribution and delivery model reaches those families.
Proper nutrition, especially the fresh produce that is so out of reach for low-income families significantly improves children’s mental health, academic performance, and long-term wellbeing.
I'm fundraising so that every family that wants hampers can get one through Hand Up Toronto.
