On Sunday, October 21, 2018…I will be participating in the Charity Challenge

at the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon #STWM which is 21+ km!

I will be raising funds for UrbanPromise Toronto (UPT)

#IRunForPromise (RFP) with my own personal goal of $5,000.

"UPT is a Christian non-profit organization committed to raising up a generation of young leaders from Toronto Community Housing (TCH) neighbourhoods where 3 out of 4 children live in low-income families. This means a 20-year journey with a child, and their family, to help them overcome the obstacles that poverty creates. We see them becoming young leaders who love Jesus and are determined to serve the next generation of children growing up in their own communities. These leaders will be extraordinary despite great hardship, because they know what it means to lead by serving. They will have a restoring influence in the city of Toronto, across Canada and around the world."

Please pray and support us by making a secure online DONATION:

[All pledges will receive an official tax receipt, either electronic or in the mail]

There’s also a tangible way to get involved. My wife & father, with a growing Running Crew of family and friends, will be doing 5 km! We’re asking each crew member to advocate and share their RFP stories in their own communities, to invite others to run with them and to each raise $432 = $36/month/year. This goal represents the hours of 3-6 PM where children and youth in TCH are most vulnerable. Each member can cover 1 year of program for 1 child.

There's an African Proverb that says,

“If you want to go fast — go alone. If you want to go far — go together.”
