Mikaila's Run for TCT Scholarships

I am Mikaila Doyle, an Ambassador of The Compass Trust, a non-profit organization based in Cape Town, South Africa. The Compass Trust aspires to create leaders and role models in the communities in which we work. By providing our services to schools in areas riven by poverty, violence and crime, we believe we can make a profound difference in the lives of many. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. Outsiders are often afraid by the reputation of townships, but we have found them to be vibrant areas, full of children with unlimited potential. We are not afraid to help those who deserve it.

We are currently working in Levana Primary School in Lavender Hill, Cape Town. Although located in a dangerous area, the spirit and energy of the school is second to none. We have recently helped students from Levana Primary School with their high school applications. The Compass Trust would like to provide a scholarship fund, to send the students with the academic potential, to a high school that will provide a foundation for a more promising future.

To help raise funds for the The Compass Trust scholarship program I will be running the Toronto Marathon on October 16th, 2016. If I reach my fundraising goal of $2,000.00, I will run a second marathon, the Niagara Marathon, on October 30th, 2016. Any sponsorships or donations would be greatly appreciated and will go directly to providing a better education for the gifted students who simply cannot afford it.
