Team Captain – Martha Chan
"$50 can end hunger for one person forever - in Africa by The Hunger Project. By
sponsoring my run, you will be helping to end hunger forever. Th Hunger Project empowers
women and men to end their own hunger. I have been a supporter of The Hunger Project for
over 15 years. www.thp.org I dedicate my run to Gaetan Bellerose, a marathon runner who
ran in Africa in 1986 for The Hunger Project. He passed away in March. Thanks Gaetan for
the difference you've made. "

Assistant Team Captain –
Dominic Scaffidi
"I began running about five years ago to
lose weight and improve my health and fitness level. I now really enjoy running and
understand the 'runner's high' people talk about. Last year, I ran my first marathon
(Scotia Toronto Waterfront) and began using the races to raise money for The Hunger
Project. My family and I have been investing in The Hunger Project for about 20 years. I
am inspired by the sustainable approach that empowers people to end their own hunger - it
makes a huge difference in the lives of the individuals and their communities. "
