Since then, I’ve come a long way, completing my first marathon in under 4-hours and now aiming to beat my personal best in Paris.This will also be my first-ever international trip, which makes the experience both exciting and a little nerve-wracking!To take part officially, I need to raise at least $1,200 CAD to secure my race bib.100% of donations go directly to Meningitis Research Foundation — I’ll be covering all my own travel and accommodation costs.If you’d like to support the cause, you can learn more or donate here: https://socialsync.app/fundraiser/cr-jzkmdjpld1dz" } ] } ] ```
