I am thankful for being nominated for the 2014 Notable 360 award in the Sports and Fitness category. You can view my profile and vote for me UNTIL SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30 (tomorrow) @ 5PM at: notable.ca/awards/profile/marlon-teekah/ This nomination is very special to me because its for young professionals who have had success in their career and community. Success is a term that often differs among individuals, but I believe success is about living my values. Personally, this is means having a career that I am passionate about and that utilizes my natural strengths. Its about being excellent at and believing in what I do. Its about getting paid fairly for my service. Most importantly, I believe success is about using my passions and strengths to help out more than just myself and my clients, but my city and especially the people and places that have given me so much. Over the last 3.5.years, I have been integrating my values into my company. This has led me to rebrand my business in 2013 to reflect the #1to23ratio, where 1 hour of exercise helps people to improve the other 23 of life. Exercise is about more than just losing weight and looking good, although this is definitely part of it. This has also led me to create my organization #sweatandstickTOgether in 2011, where my amazing team and I build healthier individuals and communities in Toronto through physical activity. Some of our projects include: -Stand Up 4 Fitness: A program that offers free fitness classes to families in Rexdale (where I grew up as a kid), which has one of the highest levels of health issues in Toronto. -Game On: A healthy living program for boys at Cummer Valley Middle School (my former middle school), where myself and another mentor play sports, eat healthy snacks and talk about topics affecting young men. -Guest speaking: I speak to students at U of T (my alma mater) about school and career decisions. Speaking of which, none of my success would be possible if it wasn’t for all of my friends, family and clients who have provided me with continual support and inspiration along my journey. And reading this long message! Im done! Thanks again for everything and dont forget to vote at notable.ca/awards/profile/marlon-teekah/ Marlon
