Dear friends and family

You know that L’Arche Ottawa holds a special place in my heart. L’Arche Ottawa is home to men and women with and without disabilities, living together. Our 6 homes in Ottawa provide a safe and supportive environment to adults with developmental disabilities where they are fully engaged in decisions affecting their home and their personal lives.  L’Arche Ottawa also provides assistants a place to learn how to  build a more compassionate world.

L’Arche Ottawa receives some funding from the Ontario government but donations are critical to our organization in order to provide the quality of life that our members deserve. The Tamarack Race Weekend is an important fundraising event for us. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, this year’s event will be a virtual race. Core members, assistants, friends and family will be running, walking and rolling  2 km with wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, young legs, old legs to raise much needed funds. Please help L’Arche Ottawa create a world where everyone belongs and support them by making a donation by clicking here (https://raceroster.com/events/2020/24011/tamarack-ottawa-virtual-race-weekend-2020/pledge/team/131?aff=ZLR2P)
