Silken has joined GoodLife Kids Foundation as their Kid's Champion. Silken’s goal is to inspire grown up role models like you, who have the greatest impact in a child’s life.  Together we can ensure that physical activity and healthy eating become a part of every Canadian child’s daily living. GLKF is a Canadian private foundation that envisions a Canada where all kids have the opportunity to benefit from an active life. They are inspiring parents, role models, mentors, leaders and individuals like you, to deliver the message to kids, that being active is not only good for their body and mind but also a lot of fun.
