September 27, 2026.

When I initially put out a video in June saying that I was going to run 70km from UofT to McMaster to raise money for cancer research, I honestly had no idea what was in store for me this summer.

I didn’t know how demanding the journey would be or how many incredible people I was about to meet.

Fast forward 4 months and we got it done.

We raised over $30K in the process for @braincancercanada and we did it with the help of incredible people who resonated with our mission.

The list of people I’d like to say thanks to is too long - but

@thatsara__l who biked alongside me for the whole route keeping me fueled and encouraging me when things got really hairy…

@weldrickdarren for coaching me all summer and getting me prepared for 70km in less than 4 months…

@sydwise_ who really took the reins on organizing the run, operational and fundraising logistics…

@alxlian for really buying into the vision and pulling out all the stops to fundraise (including doing a milk mile)…

My fiancée Ruby, my dad and my brother, who push me to be a better version of myself everyday…

My mom, who brought me into this world, and who I ran this 70km for…

And all the volunteers and runners who ran along the way who spent their Sunday making the day the incredible success it was.

Photos tell one part of the story, and I’m hoping to share more through video in the coming days.

But if there’s one word I could use to describe the state of my soul, it would be gratitude.

I’ve started running again after a short break, and I’m looking forward to what’s next, both in terms of distance and fundraising. 

The work is far from over.
