New York City Marathon

Fit Kitchen2024-07-12T09:02:21+00:00

I Signed Up to Run The New York City Marathon!

Those of you that have come to know me and maybe even some of you who don’t but follow me probably have figured out 2 of my passions – I like a good physical challenge and I love giving back to the community.  Well, this 61-year-old former sprinter will be getting way out of his comfort zone this coming fall and participating in the 2024 New York City Marathon (my first ever run over 10km). Now what would make me want to do this? Great question, I needed a REALLY BIG WHY!

In order to participate I agreed that I would raise a minimum of $15,000 for my favorite and closest to my heart charity … Classroom Champions. It is a Calgary based organization that puts Olympic mentors in underprivileged classrooms across North America. Classroom Champions was started by my good friend and Gold Medal Olympic Bobsleigh athlete Steve Mesler who created this great initiative while training towards the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Matter of fact I think he probably did much of his foundational work while sitting in our former business The Main Dish where Steve was our very first sponsored athlete.

Well things have come full circle, and it is time for me to do my part and train my ass off while raising money for this very worthy cause. I am fortunate to have some local partners supporting me in this journey; thanks so much to Vital Strength & Physiology, Riverside Sports Therapy, Strides Running Store and Calgary’s OG and best meal prep company – Fit Kitchen (I may have an inside track here – haha). I wouldn’t be able to do what I am in the process of doing with out these amazing local businesses.

How to Donate:

It would make me very happy if you could help me achieve my goal by donating to Classroom Champions using the link below. A gift of any amount is valuable and appreciated. I thank you in advance.
