Hello friends and family!

On June 23 I am participating in the Triathlon of Compassion, the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre's (VSAC) biggest annual fundraiser.

Honestly, I have no idea how this is going to go and I am slightly terrified! I have never been the most athletic person, but I decided I want to show myself I can do this and for a really good cause. I'm not racing to get a record time-- I simply want to cross that finish line!

1 in 3 women have experienced sexual harassment in a public place and 1 in 4 have been sexually assaulted. If my race and fundraising can help just one person get the compassionate support they need, then I have succeeded in my goal.

About the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre:

The VSACs services include their 24-hour Clinic that provides emergency support and medical care for recent survivors, crisis counselling, criminal justice system support, and violence prevention initiatives. These programs are important because when a survivor receives immediate, compassionate care it has a significant impact on their healing.

The Victoria Sexual Assault Centre provides trauma-informed sexual assault support services and prevention education free of charge to survivors and the community. They rely on fundraising to sustain their programs.

Thank you for visiting this page and considering adding a couple dollars to my fundraiser. Any amount makes a difference.

Big hugs!
