Chris Runs

From Chris: I am running in support of Jacob’s Well where I have been blessed to be able to facilitate a welcoming space of community and friendship in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Over my last five years at the Well there have been many beautiful and painful moments, endless coffees, births and deaths, baptisms and weddings, and I look forward to reflecting on these over the long days on the trails ahead.
In the early morning of September 14th I will depart from Victoria on foot planning to run and hike the length of Vancouver Island (800ish kms), arriving at a lighthouse at the end of the North Coast Trail on September 28. And, very specially, I will crewed and assisted by my mother who will be on an adventure of her own as she navigates the maze of remote backroads on the island!

I grew up just outside Victoria and can’t wait to explore the ruggedness ad remoteness of much of the island.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I take on this big run!
