I (Steve) had the privilege of running in the 2021 Road2Hope event in Hamilton, Ontario.  I specifically trained for some time with the goal of running 22:30 in the 5km event. Excitedly, I was able to finish in 21:19 (Chiptime).

I used this event to raise fund through Medical Ministry International for the purpose of Vision Care in these countries Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Ghana, Rwanda and India.  In 2020, the Vision Care Program reached over 43,000 people.
