🏃‍♀️ Meet Maddie who is running for more than a finish line.

On October 17, Maddie is lacing up for the Toronto Marathon and running to help fight food insecurity right here in our community.

For Maddie, this run is about making every mile count and helping ensure families have access to the fresh produce and nutritious staples they need to thrive.
“I’ve decided to run for something that matters” she says.
And she’s inviting you to be part of that journey. Whether you donate, share her fundraiser, cheer her on, or simply spread the word, every bit of support helps.
Let’s get behind Maddie and help put nutritious food on more tables across Toronto.
