I'm running a half marathon again in October to support my very good friend, Mary Birdsell, and her charity - Justice for Children and Youth. Mary is one of Canada's leading experts on children's rights in a broad array of legal subjects; in particular, with expertise on the application of the UN Convention on the Rights of Children in domestic law. For over 25 years she has been a tireless advocate for individual young people facing significant adversity, and for over 40 years Mary has been a friend I could always count on.
Every step I will take in October is a step to support children and young people facing legal, educational, or social challenges.
As someone who works in the running industry, and with extensive experience helping charities raise funds, I felt I needed to continue to do my part.
I was able to help Justice for Children and Youth raise almost $3500 last year and I'm aiming for $5000 this year!
Please consider lending your support to help children and youth gain justice and empowerment, while motivating me in my training for my half marathon.
Donate to help Maureen raise money for 2026 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
