A running, reading and leadership program for kids The Hopes Rise "Champions Club" after school program is a combination of running, reading and leadership skill building, culminating with a 5k race. All of the children are given free running shoes and books. Your donations help us make that happen!
Founded by Canadian Olympian and long time Canadian women's marathon record holder Silvia Ruegger (February 23, 1961 – August 23, 2019). Silvia's vision for seeing transformational change led to her creating the charity Hopes Rise, before passing away from cancer in August. Audacious hope, which fuelled Silvia’s Olympic dream and the birth of the Running & Reading Club, fuels the dream to see all children in Canada hopeful about their future and equipped with the skills and qualities they need to flourish and be leaders in their community and nation. The Runners Shop is committed to playing an active role in keeping Silvia's dream of a bright future for all children alive.
