January 1st can be an exciting time to make changes, break habits, or try something new. However, according to Forbes Magazine, only 8% percent of people who make New Year’s Resolutions are successful in achieving them. This year, the DDRC has some ideas to help you make a resolution you can keep.
Get in shape: If personal health is your focus for 2014, challenge yourself by joining Team DDRC in the Scotiabank Calgary Marathon Charity Challenge. Walkers and runners can register for a variety of distances, anywhere from 5 to 50 kilometers! As a part of Team DDRC, you even have the option of taking your resolution to the next level by fundraising for the agency.

Volunteer: If you are looking for a way to use your spare time more effectively while giving back to the community, the DDRC has volunteer opportunities for you! Currently, we are seeking a facilitator for the everyone belongs™ Toastmasters Club. As the club’s past president, Marilyn Wilson, said “the more you do it, the better you will be.” For more information, click here.
Learn Something New: Are you a part of a group, class, or organization that could benefit from a disability awareness presentation? We have spoken to groups of all ages, covering a variety of topics that relate to living with a developmental disability.
