Ski 50 km in February!
Ski 50 km in February: My 2026 Challenge for the Canadian Cancer Society.
Part of the Cottage Life Tips Series | By Jeffrey Braun | Corcoran Horizon Realty (Muskoka and Simcoe County)February in cottage country has a way of sharpening your senses. The air is crisp, the snow squeaks underfoot, and the world gets quieter in the best way. It’s the season that reminds me why we love Muskoka and Simcoe County so much: nature brings perspective.
This year, I’m leaning into that perspective in a more meaningful way. 2026 is my year to give back, and I’m starting with a challenge that is equal parts inspiring and humbling.

Why I’m Doing This in 2026
"Everyone has a reason that makes a fundraiser feel personal. For me, this one is about intention.Real estate is relationship-driven. It’s about families, milestones, and the places where life happens. When you step back, you realize how lucky we are to create memories in these beautiful regions, and how important it is to support the people and causes that hold communities together.
This challenge is my way of showing up, doing something tangible, and inviting others to be part of it if they feel called." - Jeffrey.
How I’m Planning to Hit 50 km
If you’re curious about the practical side, here’s the simple plan I’m following so this stays realistic and achievable:Break it into small wins
- Aim for 2 to 4 km on weekdays
- Longer outings on weekends to build momentum
Track what matters
- Total kilometres logged
- Weather and conditions
- Recovery days,ys so I stay consistent
Make it social
A challenge is easier when it becomes a shared story. If you see me out there, say hi. If you’re skiing too, message me your progress. I’ll be cheering for you.If You Want to Support This Journey
There are two easy ways to help:- Donate any amount, big or small
- Share the link with someone who might want to be part of it
