Debra Bobechko is not one to shy away from challenges.

The Barrie mother of two and entrepreneur has had numerous challenges in life, including an ongoing battle with heart disease.

But that doesn’t define her.

As a corporate leadership trainer, coach and faculty member, Debra believes in giving back to her community and has done so through decades of volunteer activity, including Girl Guides, entrepreneurship mentoring, event management, youth development, small business management and more.

Debra has honed her project management skills by producing events for thousands of people in both the corporate and private sector.

Whether it is at work or at play, her mantra is to push her limits and take leaps of faith.

Debra believes that it isn’t what we do that defines us, but how we do it, and whom we help along the way.

This August, Debra will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and raising money for Youth Haven. Follow her on our social media pages, as she hikes her way to the top and let’s show her our support by making a donation in her honour. #bethedifference and let’s give her strength to push on to the very top of Mt. Kilimanjaro!

Go Debra!
