Meet Angus Cowan
Despite the winter weather, Calgarians like you continue to respond with tremendous and unprecedented generosity to ease the hardships of others in our community. In 2018, we again had hundreds of participants and volunteers that ensured our event was fun, safe and successful. The 2018 Amble generated over $40,000 in donations to the Calgary Food Bank.
We are inspired each year as local students continue to energize the Amble. We always hope that our Amblers leave thinking about how they can volunteer in their community, encourage others to volunteer or even think about starting their own event. It’s easier than you may think.
Thank you again to all that have supported and participated in our fun runs. We hope to see you at the starting line in 2019!
