Julian has loved Nordic skiing since he started the Jackrabbits ski program on yard sale skis at the age of 6! After skiing with Georgian Bay Nordic, under the head coach Marilyn Suke, Julian headed off to study biology at Lakehead University and the National Development Training Centre in Thunder Bay. Julian trains and races across Canada, the USA and Europe. He needs some financial assistance to cover his costs of flights, race entry fees, food and accommodations which add up to close to $20,000.
If you would like to help Julian reach his goals, you can come to the 4th Annual Soup for Julian on Saturday, February 24th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m. and have a nice lunch. Or contact Heidi Tones, Julian’s mom, to get a ski lesson or have your skis waxed, at smith.tones@gmail.com. Lastly, there are donation envelopes on the bulletin board if you would like to make a direct donation to Julian. Thank you.
