I set myself a target to run 2017 kilometers in 2017, and I joined the Start2Finish team to help make a difference in the lives of the 1 million Canadian children who live in poverty.
Every event I participated in was an opportunity to raise awareness and funds that will empower the next generation. Every training run was dedicated to making a difference in the community.
There are two schools in east Ottawa that have Start2Finish Running & Reading clubs: a 32-week program effectively addressing the need for enhanced literacy and physical activity among economically challenged children.
Start2Finish is a national children's charity whose mission is to break the cycle of child poverty by providing ongoing educational support to Canada’s at risk children throughout their school years, nurturing mind, body and social health so they are empowered to succeed and become role models for change.
