Help me raise money for Heart&Stroke!

This May, I’m hitting the pavement to run 60km in support of Heart & Stroke, raising funds for a cause that has affected several of my own family members. I’m calling on my friends and family to help me reach my fundraising goal; every dollar goes toward critical research and support systems that save lives every day. On a personal note, this challenge is a great way for me to get back into shape, but the real motivation is showing up for a foundation that does so much good for our community. I’d love your support in making this campaign a success. Any donation helps and is truly appreciated!

Running is hard.

Wednesday 6th May
I'm proud of the fact that I went for a run.
I didn't think it would be so hard to get back into it.
I trust that my stamina will improve with practice.
Right now, it's hard!


Well, it's a start!

Saturday 2nd May
I went for a run today along some trails in my neighbourhood.. The run was a little shorter than I wanted, but give me a break I'm out of practice!!  ---   2.5km down, 57.5km to go!

Remembering my dad, Sam

Monday 20th Apr
I remember when my dad, who had been a bus driver and driving instructor for decades, had a stroke. Suddenly, he could no longer drive at all. A big part of his identity was driving, and a stroke took that from him. I also remember the defeated look on his face when I needed to help him buckle his seat-belt in the passenger seat for the first time. He continued to have heart problems until the end of his life. I now have another close family member who, five years ago, suffered a stroke, and lost the ability to speak coherently (it's called "aphasia"). I see tears, frustration, but also incredible resilience. To honour those who have been affected, and do do my part in helping those who may one day experience a stroke, I'm lacing up and running to support Heart & Stroke. I hope you'll help too. There are so many great causes to support, and I celebrate you for however you choose to contribute to bettering this world and its inhabitants. If you are looking for a cause and organization to get behind, this is a great one. Thank you for considering contributing to this important cause.
