Donovan Bailey

Recently it has been black history month and the black Canadian I chose to write about is Donovan Bailey. Donovan was born in Manchester, Jamaica on December 16,1967.1 After when he came to Canada as a teenager his game was basketball not track. Track at this time wasn’t one of his considerations. Later in 1994 when Donovan was 26, he was watching the Canadian Track Championships and he thought to himself “I can run faster than that” and he could. During and later in his career he proudly earned these titles: Canadian Champion, Pan American games Champion, Goodwill games Champion, Commonwealth games Champion, World Champion and Olympic Champion.2 During Donovan’s life he accomplished many important things from basketball when he was young, World and Olympic champion sprinter and to being a hero to many different people.

In Donovan’s early life he came to Canada as a teenager (when he was 13), his game was basketball not track. Even though he was a good enough sprinter to make the national sprint team and also an alternate on the sprint relay squad in 1993. This led him to establish in 1990 an import-export clothing business bec


This included spokesperson for the Canadian Cancer society, the Ontario Lung association and Big Brothers of Ontario. Donovan kindly used his time working with many other charities and creating a foundation called the Donovan Bailey foundation. This foundation was committed to the part-time athletes. This program was for the their personal development and for financial assistance if necessary. This would help them actually have a chance in life to receive the gold medal. When Donovan was at the Sky Dome he not only delighted the 1000 participants by joining forces at the overnight non-competitive relay. Also, Donovan walked a voluntary lap with the people who suffered from lung disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma. He thought that it was important to get through to those living with lung disease, to manage their disease to improve the quality of their life as much as possible. Some of Donovan’s sponsors are: Adidas

After Donovan retired recently from athletics that were competitive this five-time Olympic and World Champion dedicated himself to many charitable works.
