My Story…

I am excited to be running my 6th year as a charity runner with YMCA BC!

2022 - Full Marathon
2023 - Half Marathon
2024 - Full Marathon
2025 - Half Marathon
2026 - Half Marathon


And somehow I have found myself signed up for my third Full Marathon for 2027
My legs, feet, knees, back, neck, and mind are already questioning what has made me do this yet again.


To date, you have helped me raise over $2,700 and I am going to see if I can stretch that to a whopping $4,000! For my third full marathon, I am aiming to raise $30 per km... and there are 42.2 of them.

YMCA BC - a charity dedicated to igniting potential, fostering belonging, and championing health equity across the province. With 3,000+ staff and volunteers, we serve over 150,000 people of all ages and backgrounds—from the Sunshine Coast to Fort St. John. 

Your support helps provide:
✅ Affordable child care & camps
✅ Mental health & wellness programs
✅ Employment & newcomer services
✅ Safe, inclusive spaces for all 

Every dollar raised helps ensure everyone—regardless of age, income, or background—can belong and thrive.

I will be running a full marathon - 42.2KM / 26.2 Miles
My fundraising goal is $1266 ($30 per km).
