VYAS Members Participate in Annual "Run for Kids" Charity Marathon

Vancouver, BC - June 12, 2023 - Vancouver Youth Advocacy Society (VYAS) members joined over 7,000 participants from across Vancouver in the 2023 "Run for Kids" event, a charity marathon organized by the British Columbia Children's Hospital Foundation. The event included a 5-kilometer marathon and a 2-kilometer fun run, followed by a vibrant celebration.

The "Run for Kids" event, a tradition since 1986, has garnered remarkable support, having raised over 14 million dollars to date. These funds play a crucial role in sustaining programs dedicated to children's cancer research and promoting mental health initiatives.

We encourage more people to join in the fun run in the future, whether alone, with family, colleagues, or fellow students. We aim to contribute to a more compassionate and supportive society by promoting unity, awareness, and dedication. Future events will further strengthen these values and commitments, reinforcing the vision of a healthier and happier world for all children.
