Run4Change raises vital funds to support Start2Finish, a national children’s charity whose mission is to break the cycle of child poverty by providing ongoing educational support to Canada’s at risk children throughout their school years, nurturing mind, body and social health so they are empowered to succeed and become role models for change. The Start2Finish Fitness & Literacy Model helps kids with high adverse childhood experiences reach their maximum potential. Research conducted by the S2F Scientific Advisory Group has shown that physical activity, like running, develops non-cognitive skills including grit, commitment, perseverance, and optimism; all soft skills needed to maneuver life’s obstacles. Literacy, the second component of the S2F Model, is a highly predictive success indicator.
