I’m proud to be running in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa as part of this year’s Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend.

What makes this especially meaningful for me is that I’ll be running alongside my former Little Brother. What started as a mentorship has grown into a lasting friendship – and now a shared tradition.

Big Brothers Big Sisters creates those kinds of connections every day. Their programs provide mentorship, guidance, and stability for young people who need it most, helping them build confidence and change the trajectory of their lives.

I’m joining a community of runners to raise critical funds so they can continue this work, and I’d be truly grateful for your support.

If you’re able to donate, you’ll be directly helping more young people access the kind of support that made such a difference in both of our lives. Today he's very much a part of our family.

Thank you so much for considering a donation (you’ll receive a tax receipt as well). It really does mean a lot.
