Amazing Race. Amazing life. For me, they are one and the same, yet my husband and I couldn’t resist applying for Amazing Race Canada when we heard that the Emmy winning reality series was heading above the American boarder.

Watch our application video to see what we are all about!

I’m not sure how much of a thrill-seeker I am; my natural instinct is self preservation, not jumping out of a plane for example (massive fear of heights). My motivations for running the race runs deep in my heart despite the potential for terrifying challenges.

Aaron and I are running the race for our son Zachary who passed away in my arms minutes after he was born from a cardiac tumor. My motivation for putting myself out there on Amazing Race Canada is living life to the fullest for Zachary. My boy will never have the chance to experience this truly amazing life and thus I want to do so for him, in memory of my son.

Aaron and I and our children were recently featured in the Edmonton Journal for our “Amazing Inspiration,” by Elizabeth Withey.
