WE (YOU) DID IT!

We had 1,500+ participants from 25 countries who showed up for the amazing TKD Kicks Corona training session. We have never heard of a taekwondo class that big. Well done!!
 

You should be very proud of yourself for standing with the TKD community and fighting for the doctors and nurses on the frontline protecting our families. 

The event has raised $8,000 dollars so far! To put that number in perspective, that’s enough for 25,000 masks! You can still donate by going here https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/taekwondo-kicks-corona/ Let’s get to $10,000!!!
