Good afternoon, friends, family, and colleagues.
As many of you know, I'm a husband and the incredibly proud father of two beautiful daughters. Becoming a dad has changed the way I see the world. More than anything, I want my girls to grow up in a world where they feel safe, respected, and empowered. Unfortunately, that isn't the reality for far too many women and gender-diverse people.
That's why this summer I'm participating in Sweat to Support Survivors, raising funds for Battered Women's Support Services (BWSS).
From July 15 to September 15, I'll be walking, running, cycling, and staying active to support an organization that provides life-changing services to survivors of gender-based violence. Last year alone, BWSS responded to more than 52,000 requests for help. Behind every one of those calls is someone looking for safety, support, hope, and the chance to rebuild their life.
The funds raised help provide crisis support, trauma-informed counselling, legal advocacy, employment programs, and specialized services for people who have nowhere else to turn. These aren't just programs. They're lifelines.
This campaign isn't really about fitness. It's about standing beside survivors and saying, you're not alone. While I can't solve this problem on my own, I can do something. And I'm hoping you'll join me.
If you're in a position to donate, no matter the amount, I'd be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps ensure these essential services remain available for those who need them most. If you'd rather participate yourself, I'd love to have you join the movement.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for helping make our communities safer, stronger, and more compassionate. It truly means a lot.
