MUSKOKA, ON, July 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- In a remarkable display of endurance and community
spirit, Andy and Connor Montgomery,
alongside Spencer and Lauren
Tamming, are taking the Brent Run challenge to new heights.
This year's Brent Run aims to raise $100,000 to send kids in need to Camp Mini-Yo-We,
doubling the adventure and the impact from previous years.
Kids Need Camp - The Brent Run is Aiming to Raise
$100,000 for Kids In Need to Camp
Mini-Yo-We.
"We're excited to push our limits once again, inspired by the
incredible support we've received," said Andy Montgomery. "Each donation is like a paddle
stroke pushing us forward, helping us change more lives through the
Camp Mini-Yo-We experience."
The Evolution of Brent Run
Last year, Andy and Connor
Montgomery embarked on a gruelling 162-kilometre nonstop
canoe trip through Algonquin Provincial Park, raising over
$100,000, surpassing their initial
goal of $50,000. This year, they
return with renewed determination and a twist— including a relay
component. Joining the Montgomerys are Spencer and Lauren Tamming, a brother-sister
Mini-Yo-We alumni team, who are adding fresh energy and a
collaborative spirit to the challenge.
Spencer, Operations Director at Camp Mini-Yo-We, explains,
"This year, we're introducing a relay format. Andy and Connor will
paddle from Canoe Lake to Brent and back, covering the first 162
kilometres. Then, Lauren and I will take over, paddling the same
route. This baton pass at Canoe Lake symbolizes our collective
efforts to support a greater cause."
Why Support Brent Run 2024?
The Brent Run isn't just about endurance; it's about opening
doors for children who can benefit profoundly from a summer at Camp
Mini-Yo-We. Each participant in this year's challenge is driven by
stories of families impacted by the camp's programs.
Examples of Families Being Helped by Brent Run 2024
- Sondra H. shared, "I think my son would benefit from Mini-Yo-We
immensely. It would give him a chance to build confidence and make
new friends in a supportive environment."
- Verna N. expressed, "Unfortunately, life has been very hard for
some time. My kids need a break from all the stress and anxiety.
Camp Mini-Yo-We could be the place where they find some peace and
joy."
- Lyndsay B. mentioned, "I am a mom of three sons, and my two
older boys really enjoyed their time at Camp Mini-Yo-We last year.
They came back with new skills and a sense of independence that was
wonderful to see."
