I’M A SMARTGIRL....... Finally, it’s official.  ;-)

I’m thrilled to be a winner of the ‘smartgirls challenge,’ a contest launched by glacéau smartwater and Plan Canada’s Because I am a Girl initiative.  As one of three winners, I will be travelling to Rwanda with Olympian Jennifer Heil to celebrate the opening of a new school for girls!  

To enter I submitted an essay through a contest on Facebook that explained how I’ve made a difference in the lives of girls and women by raising awareness and funds for the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre (WSAC).  

While in Rwanda we will be celebrating the opening of a school for girls and have the chance to meet the girls who will be attending the school.  I have no doubt that this experience will inspire me to continue working to improve the lives of girls and women in my community and abroad.  


I cannot express how grateful I am to my friends, family, clients, colleagues and especially my forever-guy Chris, for helping me reach my goals.  I am absolutely over the moon with excitement and gratitude for the Because I am a Girl trip to Rwanda.... THANK YOU SMARTWATER! 

I leave tomorrow, flying to Toronto for the night, then we will attend two live appearances on television before travelling to the airport to begin our trip to Rwanda!  I hear we’re travelling by Limo to the airport - SNAP! :)


I have a feeling the next 12 days are going to change my life forever... I can’t stop smiling just thinking about it.  As a winner in the smartgirls challenge, I hope that I can inspire others to make a difference in their communities.  All of this... the marathon, raising $20,000 for WSAC, designing tshirts, holding a fashion show, receiving  provincial and national awards, and now a trip to Africa.... has happened in less than 365 days.  Inspired yet?

“BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.”
