Camp Gitchigomee has been a place of fun, learning, and renewal for me for the past 20 years! This picture was taken around the campfire of an Intermediate week in 2010.
We're hiking in support of keeping arts education opportunities accessible to all children and youth in Thunder Bay! Community Arts & Heritage Education Project provides these opportunities for schools, community groups, social service agencies and the general community, working in collaboration with many fantastic local artists!

Newborn screening alerts doctors to PKU. The rare disease requires daily balancing the specialty metabolic foods to prevent toxin from attacking the infant's brain, muscles and nervous system. Not all provinces provide adequate coverage for the treatment of PKU. Consider: Treat the disease to create highly productive professionals or fail to support and see them deteriorate until they require social and medical life support and institutionalization. We are the local PKU wellness and awareness team. http://www.rideforpku.ca/
I am fundraising for both Volunteer Thunder Bay and the Canadian Cancer Society. Both organizations are close to my heart. I have been working for Volunteer Thunder Bay for over a year now and I have been privileged to see first hand just how vital volunteers are to every community. Volunteer Thunder Bay promotes the need for volunteerism and helps community members gain the knowledge they need to know where to go. Like many family's, Cancer has sadly effected my family. I have lost multiple loved ones to the disease - most recent is this last March when I lost my Nana to Leukemia. The care she was given what the best that she was able to recieve, and I appreciate all that the doctors were able to do. I want to raise money for the Cancer Society to not only assist them to give that same care to another individual; but in hopes that one day they will be able to do more for them. The funds will be split 60% 40%. 60% - Canadian Cancer Society and 40% Volunteer Thunder Bay. Thank you in advance for your support for these two amazing Organizations! Below watch a video on paying it forward. Not everyone has lots of spare time in their lives to be volunteering so when you see a change to help out another individual, please take it. You have no idea how much a small gesture could change someones day :)
Promoting, supporting and developing volunteerism and it's benefits in Thunder Bay and region.
I'm hoping to raise money for both Volunteer Tbay and Camp Gitchigomee by collecting pledges for the Mayor's Hike 4 Charity.
I am participating in Thunder bay's Hike For Charity! I will be raising money for the Thunder Bay Humane Society! I am very excited to be walking for them and having a part in supporting this important charity in Thunder Bay!
Raise funds for Childhood Cancer Canada and awareness for Childhood Cancer.
We want to help out others and stay healthy by doing it!
Help me encourage and empower volunteers throughout our community by supporting my fundraising efforts in our annual Hike for Charity event. A great event that raises money not only for Volunteer Thunder Bay but other registered charities across the city. A win-win situation :)
I'll be hiking the 10km Mayor's Hike at Centennial Park on June 7th. 50% of proceeds raised will go to Volunteer Thunder Bay and the other 50% will go to George Jeffry Children's Centre, if you would like to know more about this organization check out their website: http://www.georgejeffrey.com.
