Meet our Ambassador, Kate!
24 Hours of Heroes is excited to welcome Kate Gordon as one of our new Ambassadors! So you can get to know her a bit better, we asked Kate to tell us about her fitness journey, what our cause means to her, and some fun facts!
Fitness:
Despite the many experiences throughout her life that she has felt she couldn’t control, exercise has been the way to take charge of her life and make her feel empowered and comfortable in her own skin. CrossFit came into her life following a serious neck injury, and not only allowed her to get back to movement, but progressed to helping her now be in the best shape of her life thus far! Kate loves the CrossFit community as it is all about acceptance, encouragement, and passion.
Our Cause:
As a first responder herself, Kate understands the hard work, selflessness, and ultimately, the immense sacrifice given by first responders and veterans. She recognizes the challenges faced by those with PTSD, and knows first-hand the trials and hardships it creates. For Kate, 24 Hours of Heroes, Wounded Warriors Canada, and National Service Dogs form an incredible light along the path that could otherwise be a very dark journey for those living with PTSD and other psychological injuries.
Fun Facts:
She is obsessed with Harry Potter, and is a Ravenclaw (though Slytherin is a close second!)
She is a homebody through and through, though there has never been a dance floor she didn’t get along with!
She would choose a burpee over pretty much any other movement
