My Story…

This year, I’m taking on the challenge of running the half marathon to raise funds for Voices in Motion, a multigenerational choir for people with memory loss, their caregivers, friends, and students that creates connection, joy, and community through music. As the musical director of this choir, I have the privilege of leading a dynamic and inspiring group of individuals each week. Together, we sing to foster connection, build confidence, encourage growth, and provide support to those navigating the challenges of memory loss. There is a growing body of research showing the powerful impact singing can have on the brain, particularly for individuals experiencing memory-related challenges. The joy, engagement, and connection that music brings is something I am incredibly fortunate to witness firsthand at every rehearsal. Moments of laughter, recognition, friendship, and shared expression remind me just how meaningful this work truly is. Thank you so much for your support!

Donate to help Annika raise money for 2026 Beneva Vancouver Half Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
