Why Support Me?
As someone who has been passionate about running from a young age, I’ve had the privilege of competing in marathons, half marathons, and more. Running is not just a sport for me – it’s a lifelong passion and an outlet that I am committed to daily. Now, as my children are growing (our son is 8, and our daughter is 5), I’m chasing an even bigger dream: The Great World Race.
This incredible event involves running 7 marathons in 7 days across 7 continents. If you’ve heard of the race, you’ll know it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one that I’ve dreamed of participating in for years. Just recently, I watched two women – Becs Gentry and Hillary Kupish – cross the finish line together in Miami, and their strength and camaraderie were so inspiring that it ignited the fire within me to make this dream a reality. You can learn more about the race here: The Great World Race.
The cost of participating is significant – $88,000 Canadian dollars – which covers everything from travel and logistics to accommodations and race fees. This is why I’m reaching out to see if you are open to sponsoring me for this incredible challenge. Your support would be instrumental in helping me cover the cost and to make this dream come true.
Please contact me to discuss how we can create an exciting and mutually beneficial partnership. The energy and visibility of this race is unparalleled, and I would be honored to have your name alongside me on this incredible journey.

The Great World Race is an extreme adventure. I will run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. The 2024 race started in Antarctica, then runners flew and raced in South America, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America, and finished in North America. This will be an adventure of a lifetime!

No! BUT my family will be in Miami on November 21 to see the final stage of the race. Miles, my son, will be 9 and Margot, my daughter, will be 6 at this time. I’m hoping they will want to run part of this race with me. When I casually mentioned this to Miles, he said that running with me sounded too much like work. Instead he said he would bring his bike and bike alongside me. I’ll take it! I’m not sure if my husband Dennis will be up for a marathon, but he will definitely be up for the post-marathon swim in the ocean!!
