Join us in raising $25,000 at EHN Edgewood Nanaimo’s Run for Recovery 2025
Every year, Run for Recovery brings people together to support those facing addiction and mental health struggles – in a powerful act of community, connection, and compassion.
This year, we’re raising funds for David’s Place (through the Island Crises Care Society), a recovery program offering up to 18 months of support for individuals in need. Your run helps provide stable housing, nutritious meals, mental health resources, and a therapeutic community to those who need it most.
We’re also collecting personal care items (including shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, etc.) for those coming through EHN Edgewood Nanaimo who need them.
Whether you run, walk, sponsor, donate, or just cheer us on, you’re helping to create real change and achieve our fundraising goal!
