Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a graduate of the Orkidstra program (2019) alongside my brother (2022), the organization and the people behind the project have been pivotal to my life and the sense of family that I cherish Ottawa for.

After finishing my bachelor's in Human Kinetics (BScHK), my master's in physical therapy (MHSc PT), and now pursuing a bachelor's in law (LL.L.), I have been taught by orkidstra to pursue challenges and use the learned discipline to seek my dreams.

As I attempt my 2nd marathon and hope to qualify for Boston, I am seeking to raise some funds for this amazing organization!!!

They do amazing work and keep on growing to provide so many kids with the dreams of expressing themselves through music and learning so many different life skills while growing up with the program. Orkidstra has been a true family to me.
