Realizing a dream, three years in the making

The Scotia Toronto Waterfront 5K​ was my very first race in 2013. I truly fell in love with racing after experiencing the atmosphere, challenge and hype of that day. As I continued to learn more about running over that first year, I discovered a great source of information and inspiration in the on-line running community. The Digital Champions of Canada Running Series were some of the first runners on social media I followed, chatted with and learned from. It became a goal to be able to give back the way they did.

Fast forward to late 2015 when I happily helped my friend Jean-Paul Bédard's with his amazing brain-child, ‪JPsTeam‬. The Team raises awareness for the survivors of childhood sexual abuse and funds to support two amazing charities The Gatehouse and Little Warriors.  JPsTeam is incredibly inclusive and supportive of all runners and shows support through social media, fun group runs and camaraderie.

I'm incredibly pleased to announce that I've been selected as a Digital Champion for the 2016 Scotia Toronto Waterfront Marathon! In addition to the usual role of Digital Champion, each of us  will also be a cheerleader for one of the race's charities--and it was an easy choice for me to choose to support JPsTeam!

Not all running dreams include actual running. Thank you Canada Running Series!
