Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Kidsport Canada. Kidsport Canada helps children who cannot afford equipment or registration fees by covering the costs and providing grants to families to help their kids play sports. We are also in direct contact with Kidsport Canada to help make this fundraiser a huge success!

On November 6th, 2021 I will be undertaking a 60-65km run/walk from just north of Toronto (Kleinburg) to Barrie, Ontario. The run will begin at around 4 am and will be completed in the afternoon, the estimated time will be around 7-9 hours.

I've been blessed to have been able to play and learn many of lifes lessons through sports. The fact of the matter is that 1 in 3 kids are unable to play sports due to financial constraints and that is a number that is way to high. Although being raised by a mother on her own presented its own host of challenges for those involved, one thing that we were always encouraged to do is to play sports. As a result of those sports, I've had numerous opportunities present themselves - ranging from academic awards, to athletic awards, to a valedictorian award for Humber college, to opportunities to playing sports abroad.

.

Here's the thing though, there are many kids who may never get that chance to know the feeling of scoring a goal, digging a hard hit ball, or the sound or feeling of a ball hitting a baseball bat. That's why I'm doing this, is because I believe that all kids should have the same opportunity for sports regardless of financial circumstances - and unfortunately, some kids are being missed for amazing opportunities due to financial constraints.

.

Playing sports allows kids to learn how to succeed, how to fail, and how to create bonds with other players that last a lifetime. If you're someone who grew up playing sports, there's a good chance that many of your greatest friends are a result of playing some sort of sport together. There's also a good chance that some of your greatest memories involve some sort of sports moments, I know mine do. If you're someone who grew up playing sports, or if you're someone a fan of sports; please comment some of your favourite sporting moments, we'd love to hear them!

Any small amount helps, so please share on social media, and help raise awareness for this awesome goal that we can achieve together!
