With each new year often comes new personal goals to be more physically active, whether it’s running long distances, tackling a triathlon or even just walking, jumping and moving more.
On New Year’s Eve, Ottawa entrepreneur Alex Dorward, 31, announced to the world his ambitious plans to complete one physically challenging feat each month, for 12 months, while raising money for local, national and global charities. It s called 12beCAUSE.
