Six years ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate but she didn't think it would be possible coming from a family of four kids and facing the struggles of a parent battling illness. * \ Through a family support service in her community, Marlee and her family were in- troduced to Canadian Tire lumpstart. The Jumpstart program supported Marlee's skating lessons and skate Canada member» ship through financial assistance. A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal...to one-day join the Cana- dian Olympic Figure Skating team.Through )umpstart. Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this “jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed to enter some very challenging pru- vincial and national figure skating competitions in C anada,” said Marlee Stein."lNith all the lessons I have taken, I hope it opens up opportunities to eventually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team." “The benefits of kids participating in sports affects their entire lives," said Johnny Misley, President, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charitiesflumpstart is dedicated to removing barriers so financially disadvantaged children can"simpl_v participate, and ultimately pursue their dreams." Kids who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside school hours, gain many short and long term benefits including increased self esteem, greater self confidence, leadership skills, and better grades. Despite the financial hardships many Canadian families lace, there is a way to get kids into the game, no matter what barrier. By covering the cost of registration, equip- ment and/or transportation. Canadian Tire lumpstart has helped 570,000 (and count- ing) children like Marlee participate in the sport of their choice. Help kids from your community visiting Canadian Tire, Sport Chek.
