I am a Canadian, living in Vancouver. I took up running nearly two years ago with the hopes of turning back time to get in shape, to give me the strength to keep up with my two young kids.
An extended visit in late 2010 on Tristan da Cunha, the remotest inhabited island on earth, left a profound and lasting impact on me. This is my first sponsored run.

Event details

2016 Vancouver Marathon

As the island of Tristan da Cunha approaches its bicentenary year of settlement, I am delighted to dedicate my 42.2 km run in support of education, the best tool to a sustainable future for the "long run".
General education is provided through age 16, but for students with the interest and aptitude to go further, the Tristan Education Trust Fund has filled an important gap to help islanders acquire key new skills.
