Join us as EHN Edgewood Nanaimo presents the 12th Annual Run for Recovery, a fun run in support of the New Start Foundation for Addiction & Mental Health.

Embark on this time-honoured 6km fun run/walk, a cherished tradition in our community, set against the serene backdrop of Westwood Lake in Nanaimo, BC.

Whether you're an individual participant or rallying your crew or family, come join the cause! There are exciting fundraising incentives and prizes awaiting those who meet or exceed their fundraising targets. Let's aim for each participant to raise a minimum of $125.

Register today and help us achieve our $25,000 fundraising goal! (On-site registration available, though online is preferred.)

All funds generated will support the New Start Foundation, facilitating access to treatment for members of our local Vancouver Island community who lack financial resources or access to high-quality addiction and mental health services. Those seeking financial assistance for treatment can be referred by the admissions department at EHN Edgewood Nanaimo to apply for our Treatment Bursary program.
