On March 3, 2022, I completed the 360°Experience in support of 360°kids, an organization providing essential housing, food, education, and employment assistance, to our most vulnerable youth across the York Region.

I’m grateful for this organization and the incredible work they do to help youth in crisis. This year’s 360°Experience raised over $360,000. Many of you have been asking what this experience was like, so I wanted to share this recap with you here.
