Job description
Posting: Social Media Strategist (Summer Student)
Effective date: Immediate
Location: Toronto and/or remote (some travel may be required)
Full/Part Time: Full time
On May 28, Steph kicked off Race with Steph - a cross Canada triathlon adventure. Over 113 days, Steph will complete 10 triathlons (2 half ironman’s, 2 olympic, and 6 sprints) with the goal of raising over $250,000 for Alzheimer’s Disease research, and raising awareness for this terrible disease. We’re already well on our way!
In early 2021, Steph’s mum, Dr. Robin McLeod, a renowned surgeon and recent Order of Canada recipient was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Determined to turn this negative news into something positive, Steph created Race with Steph to celebrate her mum, Robin and create national conversation around a disease that carries much stigma, social isolation and embarrassment.

Race with Steph is on a mission to create awareness around Alzheimer’s disease, talk about healthy living, and inspire others to chase after their goals.
