Raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Halifax

A LIFETIME OF FRIENDSHIP: Phil O'Hara and Brad Crossley, introduced through Big Brothers Big Sisters over 40 years ago, are participating in this year's 10K. Their friendship has endured a lifetime, and each of them has supported the other through many milestones and significant life events. Currently, Phil is facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, and as always, Brad is right by his side, encouraging him to check off some bucket list items. While Phil won't be able to run the entire race, Brad will ensure he gets to the finish line.

YOUR SUPPORT: Your donations in support of the run by Phil and Brad enable Big Brothers Big Sisters to provide vital programs for local families, and support significant outcomes for youth like improved mental health, greater success in school and the confidence to achieve their full potential. Brad and Phil have lived experience of how meaningful and impactful these relationships truly are to everyone involved.


ABOUT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS: Many children in our community face adversity, and the trauma from these experiences can last a lifetime. Early intervention through the introduction and support of a developmental relationship with a caring adult is a key way to help young people navigate childhood adversity and emerge stronger.
