Over 153,000 children in British Columbia live in poverty. That is enough to fill Roger's Arena over eight times. On May 2, 2015 I will be running 8K to raise funds to support KidSafe, a charity which provides meals, programming, and developmental care to some of the most at-risk children in Metro Vancouver when schools are not in session.
This year is particularly special because I am running in honor of our Godchildren Kate and Colin, and Geoffrey's dad David Dice. Our Godchildren Colin and Kate have brought amazing joy into our lives and are both a testament to the potential that each child has within then when they are surrounded by love, support, and care. David Dice was an educator, a passionate traveller and believed in encouraging the potential in children and youth to achieve their best. He spent much of his life coaching and being involved in the community and the outdoors. This year's run is dedicated to Colin, Kate and David.
KidSafe's vision is that all children live in a community with the inspiration and support they need to be healthy, contributing citizens. For this reason I'm running to help support these programs. Please donate to my run and help me provide nutritious meals and snacks, walking school bus and van pickup, and safe and fun programming to kids who really need your help. Any amount is appreciated and will help me hit the finish line and raise $1000 by May 2nd, 2015.
