#150Women BE EPIC Run - Team Sara

Being an athlete who is a type 1 diabetic without the ability to have a full-time job with benefits, I have personally used this funding to pay for my pump supplies and my insulin, two things I need to survive, let alone represent Canada. I know there are hundreds of other female athletes who rely on this funding in various ways including paying for equipment, entry fees, travel to and from competition. This funding allows CAN Fund to turn our dreams into reality.

CAN Fund

CAN Fund is a not for profit organization created to fill a funding gap and give our Canadian athletes (summer, winter, able-bodied and Paralympic) the financial support they need to train and compete for Canada. Where CAN Fund makes a significant impact is in the years leading up to the Games, the years when no one is watching or cheering, or even aware of our athletes and their journey to be the best in the world. The majority of our athletes are paying for equipment, travel to competitions and training camps, coaching, proper nutrition, extra physiotherapy and team fees that range from $1,000 to $27,000. With every donation to CAN Fund you are given the name of the athlete who will benefit from your support and you receive a charitable tax receipt.
