In Support of Bereaved Families of Ontario - Toronto

We are very excited to announce the 1st Annual 12 Hour Boot Camp Relay, in support of Bereaved Families of Ontario - Toronto. 

BFO-Toronto provides a place where those left behind can come and find a way to live again.  It’s a place where you can look into the eyes of someone who has been there, who has lived through it and who has found joy in life again.  They are a beacon of hope in a time that often feels hopeless.

The 12 Hour Boot Camp Relay is a chance to get together with friends and family and make a difference to a worthy cause.  Put together a team of 4 people, or register on your own and we’ll make a team for you.  Each team will have a person on the workout floor at all times during the 12 hour period.  Of course this means that you do not need to come out for the full 12 hours!!!

Everyone is welcome.  This isn’t about whether you can do 10 push ups or 100 jumping jacks.  If you can move, you can make a difference!  We’re going to have fun and motivate every team member whether you’re there at 7 am or 7 pm!

Why BFO-Toronto?
BFO-Toronto is an organization that is very close to Allison’s heart.  I came to know this organization 11 years ago, shortly after my mother lost her fight to cancer.  I was 23, still living at home and I watched my once vibrant, beautiful mom fade away.

Death is a part of life, but it seems that we are never prepared for it when it happens.  We are uncomfortable with it, we don’t know what to say, how to act, what to do.  Surviving the death of a loved one is a painful and often isolating experience.  I’ve heard stories from parents who have lost a child, men and women who have lost their spouse, kids who have lost their mom or dad.  Can you imagine how confusing it is for an 8 year old girl to hear that her daddy is never coming home?

Often loved ones are so busy trying to get through it, they can’t help each other with the pain.  BFO-Toronto provides a place where those left behind can come and find a way to live again.  Here is a place where you can look into the eyes of someone who has been there, who has lived through it and who has found joy in life again.
