Streetfront Completes the Vancouver Marathon
17 Streetfront students summoned the courage to don their race bibs and head out on Sunday May 6th to run the Vancouver Half (21.2 km) and Full Marathon (42.2 km).
Knowing what it takes to complete these races - the Streetfront staff couldn't be more proud of these students. Some students eased through their races and some struggled - but the common theme. Was that no matter how beat up they were - they all willed themselves to completion.
As we've seen before - Streetfront continues to help students accomplish the most amazing of feats. Completing the Vancouver Marathon represents a world class effort for world class kids.
From left to right (total number of completed full and half marathons):
Sebastian Austin - (2); Lukas Bezanson (4); Jayde Becker (2); Ruby Lockart (1); Trevor Stokes (teacher); Joseph Malley (3); Matthew Morin (3); Kyle Leo (4); Shwana Bestoun (2); Phillip Joseph (4); Willy Dugray (4); Vaughn Sills (2); Frankie Joseph (8); William Vu (7); Jordan Braun (4); David Haeber (1); Michael Antoine (3) and Raymond King (4).
