My Story…
As someone who has dedicated my career to community sport, I've seen firsthand the incredible impact sport can have for children and youth. Sport helps children build confidence, life-long skills, memories, and relationships while supporting healthier, happier, safer, more resilient, and connected communities.
But not every child has the opportunity to play…
‼️Did you know that 1 in 3 Canadian children don't participate in sport because of cost? (Pre-COVID statistic.)
‼️Did you know that 82% of Canadians know a child who has missed out on sport due to financial barriers?
I believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy and lifelong benefits of sport, regardless of their family's financial situation. KidSport Edmonton believes that too.
That's why I am fundraising for KidSport Edmonton. KidSport Edmonton helps remove financial barriers to participation because every kid deserves the chance to play.
My goal is to raise $500 (or more!) - enough to help two children access a sport of their choosing and discover what they're capable of. Because if there's one thing my own journey has taught me, it's that we all have MOAR 2 GIVE.
MOAR 2 GIVE is a personal philosophy that reminds me that we always have more to give - to ourselves, to our goals, and to our communities. To embody this, I'm running this marathon to not only prove that I can do hard things, but most importantly to give back to a community that has given so much to me.
This race represents far more than 21.1 kilometres. It is the next chapter in a transformative health journey that has changed my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. Along the way, I have lost more than 200 pounds and discovered something incredibly important: I am stronger and MOAR (see what I did there?) capable than I ever imagined.
If you're able, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support. Whether you donate or simply share this link, you're helping another child discover the power of sport.
