Episode 37 - Alex and Mark Starratt

I had the honour of chatting with Alex and Mark Starratt. Mark served as the Director of The Paralympic Foundation of Canada from 2015 until 2019. Mark and his wife Jennifer founded The Starrett Family Foundation in 2013. It was founded to raise awareness and funds for Neuromuscular research and to make the world more accessible to those with disabilities. Alex, Mark's son, is 12 years old and is diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2. He has starred in a Canadian Tire First Skate commercial as a young boy trying sledge hockey for the first time.
