There is no doubt that the pandemic has had an impact on the mental well-being for so many Canadians.  I have been privileged to be able to manage my health through regular exercise and other resources. But not everyone has the same support.

I would like to use my newfound fitness to help raise money to benefit Kids Help Phone, by completing the 5 hour (virtual) challenge up the Haleakala volcano in Maui.  I hope you are able to contribute this important cause. Thank you!
