Cory's Birthday 2020

In this difficult and challenging time of a global pandemic that we find ourselves in, it gives us a chance to think, to remember, to hope. With this in mind we have been looking back over the many memories we have of Cory. Our favourites all seem to have a connection; Cory laughing and smiling, sharing hugs whilst raising money for those less fortunate at various wonderful events, making a difference to so many people.

These memories; the smiles and happy tears we shared as we remembered, have helped us choose this year’s charity. We are going back to one of the first charities Cory became involved with in 2010. It will also mark 10 years since Cory took on the role of Ambassador for Virgin Unite, something he was incredibly proud of.

Covenant House Vancouver work with young people between the age of 16-24 who have found themselves at risk and homeless due to a variety of different reasons and life experiences. During this time of lock-down and isolation these young people are even more vulnerable, the risks even greater. It is more important than ever that the help and guidance provided by Covenant House can continue through this strange and unprecedented time.

Covenant House provide a range of support programs such as street outreach and drop in services; sheltered accommodation and counselling options which help these young people get back on their feet and live independently.

If you are able we would love for you to help us celebrate Cory’s 38th birthday by raising money for a charity that meant so much to him. Raising awareness is just as wonderful so feel free to re-post this on your social media pages. Be the change Cory wanted to see in the world. Make a difference. Give hope for the future.
