About Sofie

Sofie was an incredible young person who displayed all the attributes necessary of a true champion. During her short five year career she showed the promise of becoming one of Canada’s top cross-country skiers. She passed away June 3, 2001, at the age of 17 while training for the upcoming season. Sofie was an inspiration to all the young skiers in Sudbury, Ontario and Canada. She started racing with Laurentian Nordic Ski Club at the age of 12 under the coaching direction of Dave Battison. During the 1995/96 season she earned her first of 13 National Championship medals, a silver in the juvenile category against skiers three years her senior. In 2000 Sofie was selected to represent Canada at the World Junior Championships in Poland, earning a 28th in the 15 km at the age of 16. She was later named to the National Junior Team. “Sofie was a dedicated, elite athlete committed to maximizing her potential. She always gave 100%, but it was her delightful sense of fun and “joie de vivre” which made such an incredible impact on anyone with whom she came in contact” commented Dave Battison, her first coach.

Congratulations to Mikaela Cheslock, our 2019 Student Award Winner


 

Mikaela Cheslock, a second year student at Laurentian University - Université Laurentienne, first heard about the SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon while she was in high school. Between specializing in Labour Studies, minoring in Law and Justice, and curling competitively, she also volunteers as a Race Marshall for the SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon. In her spare time, Mikaela volunteers at Health Sciences North / Horizon Santé-Nord and Ronald McDonald House of Canada.


“For the past two years I have been volunteering for the SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon as a Race Marshall. Being able to help with an event that benefits our community through the Northern Cancer Foundation and Health Sciences North Foundation, is an amazing experience. From my time volunteering at Health Sciences North I see the impact and support that each donation brings. Knowing that we, as a community, can help support each cause through events such as this motivates me to volunteer.``

 

``I’d like to thank SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon for awarding me this bursary. It’s been able to help me continue my studies and continue volunteering in our community. Volunteering will always be an important activity to me and I hope to be able to help with this event for many years to come. I encourage other Laurentian University students to consider joining the race as a runner or as a volunteer this year.”

Mikaela Cheslock, recipient of the 2018 SudburyROCKS!!! Marathon Laurentian University Bursary.
