Help Alisa raise money

This is my first time running a half marathon! If you had asked me a couple years ago whether I would ever consider running a half marathon, I would have told you you're out of your mind. I never considered myself a runner, but I decided to join my work's TC10k team a few years ago as a personal challenge, and now we're here.

As part of my inaugural half marathon experience, I would like to raise (at least) $500 for Our Place Society to help them help our most vulnerable neighbours and community members. Our Place came into my life when I was only 13 years old as one of the volunteer experiences organized through my peer counselling group at school. It was such a positive experience, and the residents there were such friendly people. It opened my eyes to the humanity of all people, regardless of their housing status, and has stuck with me my whole life. Today, I volunteer to help serve coffee and oatmeal there. It would mean the world to me to also be able to help them financially.
