Welcome to my fundraising page! 

Every spring, thousands of Canadians from coast to coast lace up their sneakers to participate in the World Partnership Walk, Canada’s largest public movement dedicated to fighting global poverty. 

With over 700 million people living on less than $2.15 a day, I’m raising funds that empower vulnerable communities and individuals break the cycle of poverty. Donating to my fundraise campaign will support transformative programs that improve access to quality education, essential health services, food security, and sustainable livelihoods worldwide. 

Please help me reach my fundraising goal. Every dollar raised makes a difference.

Year Three. No Excuses. (Looking at You, Three-Year-Old.)

Saturday 23rd May
We’re doing the World Partnership Walk again. Third year running. At this point it’s basically a family tradition we can’t get out of — not that we’d want to.

For the uninitiated: we started this in downtown Toronto when our boys were four and one. It was adorable. It was also a lot of wagon-pulling. Year two we moved to Downsview — more space, less traffic, more things for small people to investigate — and something miraculous happened. Our kids, then five and two, walked the entire course. Every step. Without bribery. (Okay, there may have been snacks involved.)

This year they’re six and three. They have been informed the wagon is for emergencies only. Last year we did it in toques, which tells you everything you need to know about spring in Toronto. This year we’re cautiously optimistic. 

But here’s why we keep showing up: for over 40 years, the World Partnership Walk has raised funds to empower vulnerable communities across Africa and Asia to break the cycle of poverty — over $151 million since 1985, across more than 180 initiatives in over a dozen countries. It’s the real deal. And it’s a genuinely wonderful way to spend a morning, provided at least two members of your party are willing to walk under their own power.

Our goal is $5,000. Help us get there.

No donation is too small. Yes, we will absolutely tell the boys you donated. They will be thrilled. They are six and three and easily impressed.

Walking so our kids learn the world is bigger than our backyard.

Thank you to my donors
