あらすじ・解説
It's the most wonderful time of the year: TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon time! We at the AO Running Podcast are celebrating all things TWM with a series of interviews leading into and following the event. For our first conversation, host John Shep meets Marcus Smith and his mom Alicia Smith, Executive Director from Dyslexia Canada, who will be participating in the half marathon this year to raise funds through the TCS Charity Challenge for the Dyslexia Canada. Both Alicia and Marcus have Dyslexia, and Alicia has made incredible impacts in her short few years with the organization, including speaking with the Ontario Human Rights Commission, changing the Ontario school curriculum, and ensuring that for the first year ever, all students in Ontario will be screened for a reading disability.
