We all know that running has a lot of benefits for us personally, from weight loss and stress relief to better overall health. This, in turn, benefits our families and communities.
A great many runners, however, have other reasons to run. It could be to raise money for charity, or raise awareness for a cause – or both! Maybe it’s to be a role model, lead a group in the community, be a catalyst for change or otherwise help people.
You tell us! If you, or someone you know, is Running for a Reason, please send your story to webeditor@irun.ca and we might feature it right here on this blog.
