No one gets there alone.

Every finish line I’ve crossed — marathons, ultras, Hyrox races — was made possible by the people and support systems around me. That’s why I’m proud to sponsor Alison Mackie, a Canadian cross-country skier from Edmonton and a member of the Edmonton Nordic Ski Club.

Alison is chasing her dreams on the national and international stage, living the same values that have driven my own career: resilience, dedication, and the belief that consistency wins over the long run.

Edmonton Nordic is where I began my coaching career. Seeing Alison rise from that same community makes this personal. It’s not just about supporting an athlete — it’s about giving back to the roots that shaped me.

For me, sponsorship isn’t about writing a cheque. It’s about standing behind people who show up, day after day, to chase something bigger.

That mindset carries into every part of my life. I bring the same values to my work at Nakamun Group Employee Benefits — because just as athletes need strong systems behind them, so do people in the workplace.

Supporting Alison is a reminder of why support matters — on the trails, in the workplace, and in life.

A portion of every purchase from the Mileage Game Shop, Coaching, and Pantry — along with every donation through this site — goes directly to Alison Mackie to help cover the costs of training, travel, and competition as she prepares for the 2026 Olympic Trials and beyond.

This is more than sponsorship.
 It’s a community fueling an athlete’s dream.
