Cambodia Challenge for Shelter!

For 5 days, I’ll be trekking alongside like-minded colleagues from coast to coast all in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. While my trek towards the picturesque temples of Angkor Wat will be immensely rewarding, it will not be easy! Days will be long, hot, and humid, and jet lag will be intense. I will be going without the comforts of home, sleeping in a small tent, using rustic bathroom facilities, and unplugging completely from cell service and technology. 

To be eligible to take part, I will pay my own trek and travel expenses and must raise at least $6,000 for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. Of the funds I raise, 80% will be directed to my local women’s shelter, and 20% will fund national domestic violence prevention programs. 

I was personally a victim of domestic violence in a past relationship. I know the feeling that exists out there for women. I know what it’s like to feel like you have nowhere to turn. I want to be not only a voice, but also a vehicle for change. I want to change and better the lives of women and children who are affected by domestic violence. 

I know the adventure ahead will test me both physically and emotionally, but I’ve raised my hand because I believe that a house is only a home when the people who live there feel safe. As I face this challenge, I will draw strength knowing that every dollar I raise and every kilometer I walk will help make it easier for women and children to find the safety, hope, and healing they deserve.

Will you join me by donating towards my fundraising goal?
