After eight weeks of intense training at Humble Boxing, Beckie is ready to take on her opponent at the White Collar Boxing event on March 27th at the Palace Theater. Every punch thrown supports a greater cause, with all proceeds benefiting Airdrie Power and Airdrie 1st charities.

In this exciting episode, Beckie shares her journey from mechanical engineering to entrepreneurship through the SMARTstart program, her deep commitment to the Airdrie community, and how she’s tackling the mental and physical challenges of her first boxing match. Her story is a testament to the strength, resilience, and heart of Airdrie—proving that giving back sometimes means stepping outside your comfort zone and into the ring!

Grief is love searching for a home. After the heartbreaking loss of their son, Kalix, John Lagenau and his wife Betina channeled their pain into purpose by founding the Kalix Legacy Foundation. Inspired by Kalix’s passion for hockey, the foundation has been helping families since 2021 by making sports more accessible and easing the financial burden of equipment costs.

This is an Airdrie story of love, resilience, and community, and I was truly honored to be part of this conversation. Along with our show links, you’ll find a donation link to support this incredible cause — one that continues to make our city a better place.
