“By studying physical anthropology and biology at<br />
<strong>Trent</strong> <strong>University</strong> and learning about the human<br />
skeletal system and other biological systems, I was<br />
better able to prepare for my run across Canada<br />
for the Canadian Cancer Society. Thanks to my<br />
studies, I know what it takes for my bones to repair<br />
as I run day-in and day-out, and that knowledge is<br />
simply invaluable to my journey. What better way<br />
to live your education than to let your education<br />
help you to help others?”<br />
