My Story…
I'm running the BMO Half Marathon this year as a fundraiser for Employ to Empower, a Vancouver-based charity that empowers low-income individuals living with multiple barriers (mental and physical health challenges, disability addiction recovery) through inclusive, personalized entrepreneurship programming.
By donating to my run, you’re not just supporting me on race day — you’re helping create access, opportunity, and pathways forward for entrepreneurs across our community. Every contribution, big or small, helps ensure that talent and potential are never limited by barriers.
Help me reach my goal of $1,000.00 raised towards this great cause!
