Athlete Spotlight: 6-year-old Kalinda Racing to Make a BIG Difference!
Name: Kalinda
Upcoming Race: SuperKids Tri - Saturday June 27, 2026
Mission: Raising $2,500 for Angel Hair for Kids
Donating Above & Beyond: Her own hair for children during their fight against medical hardships
This Saturday June 27, Kalinda will run her very first triathlon! She’s been working hard practicing pool laps and pedalling her bike, but her goals are far loftier than this race alone. 48 hours after crossing the finish line, she will be donating her long hair to Angel Hair for Kids - a Child’s Voice Foundation Program. She's also set a bold fundraising goal, hoping to raise $2,500 by Monday June 29, 2026 to further help fund the creation of custom wigs for kids.
Come out to the François Dupuis Recreation Centre this Saturday to cheer her on and help smash her goal! We are incredibly proud to have young athletes like Kalinda in our community who embody the true spirit of empathy and kindness through sport.
