For those who know me – hello – and for those who don’t, thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
Twenty-two years ago, at eighteen, I rode my mountain bike from Mount Albert, Ontario, to Nelson, British Columbia. Somewhere along that journey, a seed was planted: a dream of one day running across the country – and using that challenge to raise money for a cause bigger than myself.
I’m forty now, married to my wife Jessica, and the proud father of two beautiful children, Oliver and Florence – and that long-held plan is finally becoming reality.
My fundraising goal is $50,000 – and I can’t reach it alone. I know this is a big ask, but meaningful change happens when we show up for one another. I hope you’ll consider supporting this cause by making a tax-deductible donation.
