Team Captain – Dominic
Scaffidi
"I have been running about four years. I
originally started running
to lose weight and improve my health and fitness level. In 2008 I
did my first half marathon - the Toronto Waterfront (Scotia) run.
It took a while but I now really enjoy running and understand the
'runner's high' people talk about. I have been investing in The
Hunger Project for about 20 years. I love the sustainable approach
to empowering people to end their own hunger - it makes a huge
difference in the lives of the individuals and their communities."

Assistant Team Captain –
Martha Chan
"I don't do any exercise, and I need an excuse to exercise. This is
the perfect excuse! I never ran before, but am perfectly willing
and able to train for this event. I have been a supporter of The
Hunger Project for over 15 years. This is the best return on your
investment: $50 to end hunger for one person forever!"
