Why run? Well, we all have a "why!"
“For me, it’s seeing the kids’ big smiles in our Y Child Care Centres. It fills my heart! It’s also the Newcomers I have met and had the pleasure of getting to know who have found family through the Y. These are just a couple of examples of my WHY!”
— Leanna Dunn
