On New Years Day I will be dipping into Lake Ontario to support Boost Child & Youth Advocacy Centre (Boost CYAC).

Boost is a cause close to my heart, and I dedicate some of my volunteer time and energy to supporting this wonderful organization.

Each year Boost CYAC sees children and teens for abuse investigations and supports children in trauma treatment and court preparation programs. The road to getting help for an abused child can be confusing, intimidating, and traumatizing.  Children are often required to retell the story of their abuse to 5 or more professionals before they can begin their road to healing.  Boost CYAC brings police, child protection workers, nurses, advocates, trauma therapists, and court support workers under one roof so a child only has to tell their story once. This one-stop process takes the burden off of children and their families already facing high levels of stress and anxiety. 

Please sponsor my dip and help me reach my fundraising goal.  Thank you. ❤️
