Grads Give Away 120 Pairs of Running Shoes to Students

Braden Radford and Owen Taylor, recent high school graduates and founders of All-Access Athletics, gave away 120 pairs of running shoes to students at St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School in Clinton on May 25, 2026. The event was part of their initiative to support youth in sports and physical activity.

Community Impact

The donation aimed to remove barriers for students who may not have access to proper footwear for athletics. Radford and Taylor emphasized the importance of giving back to the community that supported them throughout their high school careers.

"Everything adds up," said Radford. "We wanted to make sure that every student who wants to be active has the chance to do so." The event was covered by Scott Miller of CTV News London.
