My Story…

🏃‍♂️ Running My First Half Marathon This Weekend from Total Novice – For Clean Water in Zambia 💧

Six months ago, I laced up my running shoes for the first time with a goal that seemed impossible: from a total novice to complete a half-marathon race and finish in the top 5% of runners.

But this race isn't just about personal achievement.


I'm running to bring accessible clean water to communities in Zambia through Good Neighbours Canada.

Every kilometer I've trained represents families who walk hours each day just to access water. Every early morning run reminds me of the children who miss school to help carry water home.

The Impact:

1 in 3 people in Zambia lack access to clean water. Clean water means healthier families, education opportunities, and economic growth. Your donation directly funds water infrastructure that transforms entire communities.

This weekend, I'm pushing my limits. Will you help me push the impact even further?

Every contribution—big or small—brings us closer to ensuring no family has to choose between water and opportunity.


Thank you for being part of this journey. Wish me luck! 🙏
