Susan FryeHi, my name is Susan Frye. I am an idealist existing as the middle child sandwiched between two wonderful brothers. I love running, eating dessert and drinking a hot cup of coffee while reading in a cafe. I started running four years ago and have already completed three half-marathons and several 10k races. I'm now working on improving my race times and love the feeling of crossing finish lines and being cheered on by friends and family. I am currently a resident in Toronto, Ontario where I co-own a magazine company. |
Jul 26 Oxfam 100K Trail Walk
100K walk? I will, if you will.
This past weekend 118 teams, each with four members, attempted to complete a 100K-trail walk in 48 hours or less. Oxfam Canada has put on the event for two years now, striving to raise $500,000 in support of “long-term development”, advocacy and emergency programs in 28 countries around the world. Oxfam Canada works with people to secure their basic human rights and campaigns against the root causes of poverty and injustice. I was fortunate to be a part of one of the trail walk teams.
It was an honour to take part in the event. Our team, > MORE
