Almost Famous

I have had lots of opportunities over the last week or so to raise the profile of my challenge and awareness of the work that Start2Finish do, thanks to https://www.highroad.com/ who are involved in media coverage of the Ottawa Marathon.

On 23 April I was invited to participate in a Twitter chat (#RunOTTChat @OttawaMarathon) about running and fundraising. 
 

The local news picked up on the cause and wrote an online item about myself and another Ottawa runner (Katherine Starr) who are both raising money for Start2Finish:  

 
And on Monday 01 May I was invited into the 1310News radio studio, with another marathoner (Tracy Shouldice) aiming to raise $2,017 (he's doing a bit better than I am at the moment!).  
 
You can hear our interview on the Carol Anne Meehan Show here (starting at 32min 40):

My next post will be a bit more information on who Start2Finish are, what they do, and why it matters.

Every dollar counts.
