The Ms. Dalziel Spirit Run happened for the first time, in person, on April 5th, 2022. It was a school-wide event organized for my Capstone project. This Spirit Run honours the memory of a much-beloved teacher, Megan Dalziel, who lost her battle with cancer in 2019. Ms. Dalziel was my gym teacher throughout my time in the Junior School and had a profound impact on me. It was so important to me to have the whole school participate and we were so lucky to have a beautiful day on the run.
Though donations weren’t mandatory we were able to raise some money for Stem Cell Research and have donated it to BC Women’s Hospital. I hope that this run may become annual and continue on in the years to come! Anyone who wishes to donate to this important research can do so at http://www.bcchildrens.ca/donate.
