Feature Story: A Steady Drip on a Rock

Abstract

Together, our amazing donors are powerful shapers of a better world, and individually they each have a distinctive and personal story to tell. One example is Dr. June LeDrew, whose passion for children’s healthy active living is matched only by her commitment to giving back to the community.

The Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies professor knows how physical activity in the early years of a child’s life is critical to building a strong foundation of physical development and mental well-being throughout their lives. To promote this behaviour, LeDrew wrote and independently co-published with her husband Rey Epema two massively successful books entitled Children on the Move: An Active Living Alphabet and Girls on the Move: An Active Living Alphabet.
