My Story

I'm participating in the Sporting Life 10K to raise money for Campfire Circle in honour of my little buddy Esme, who was diagnosed with leukemia last summer. Campfire Circle is an incredible organization that has brought joy and normality (and crafts!) to some of Esme's toughest hospital days. I'm glad they exist, and I'm proud to do what I can to support them because they support Esme—she's truly the best—and other kids facing this supremely unfair challenge. 

Though I can't run, I'll do 10K at a stretch in my power wheelchair—and up the ante by pledging to practise mindfulness meditation the whole way. If you know me, you know that this'll take real muscle!

Please donate and help me help Esme keep being her Esme-zing self.
