EP 213. Celebrating Kickback Foundation and Fast & Female

Today we are celebrating two Canadian charities that are working diligently to support Canadian youth in becoming and staying active in sport. The Kickback Foundation's Kickback Run Club brings together community families for 20 weeks over the summer in both Scarborough and downtown Toronto. The program  provides relatable role models for youth and meaningful connections for mentors. In addition to the community runs, Kickback brings program participants to the next level by bringing them to the start line of races that they likely never would have seen without it. Fast and Female's goal is to empower girls through sport, physical activity and education. Through programming and step up opportunities, participants are provided with R.E.A.L. role models. As they progress through the program, they are encouraged to become role models for the participants that come after them. Leadership is built into every step to build a strong, active future for all of them. If you are in a position to support these organizations, you can find them here: Kickback Foundation @kickbackfoundation https://linktr.ee/kickbackfoundation   Fast & Female @fastandfemale https://fastandfemale.com/support/    --- EPISODE SPONSOR: The party that was the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon this year was incredible - 30,000 runners over three events with Canada's official largest marathon all in the books.
