Run 4 kids, run for a cause

24 Nov


While running a marathon in Fort Worth, Texas last winter, Power of Choice founder Scott Gallagher decided to invent a winter running event in Toronto. That idea was too big to execute on his own so Scott enlisted the help of the Leave Your Mark and Up2BIGstuff organizations to participate. All three organizations deliver empowerment programs for youth and have teamed up to create Toronto’s first indoor ultra marathon.

This important Run4RKids event will take place
January 8th, 2011 at York University in Toronto
