A personal message from Dyllan: “I am so excited to be nominated as one of the few people to represent Canada in the upcoming Olympic Hopes event in Poland. It has been a long journey for myself, my coaches, peers and family to get me to where I am today. I have worked my way through some of the toughest times during COVID when training was near impossible but have strived to accomplish my goals to make my family, friends and coaches proud. I am working hard to follow in my papa’s footsteps who also represented Canada in Sprint Canoe. Thank you for any donations, encouraging messages and shared of this campaign.”
