Well-Being For All

Fastathon(s) a Big Success So Far

Once again this spring, youth and adults from all over the country participated in the 36 hour fasting and fundraising event. Between the events held at Ziontario and Hills of Peace campgrounds, we raised just over $35,000.  Another outstanding year.  AND there is still more to come.

For the second summer in a row, the directors of the BC reunion have not only encouraged a mini-Fastathon within the reunion but are helping World Accord with handling the planning and organizing as well.  It may be a small group of fasters but they are keen to participate and are eager fundraisers too.

The theme for Fastathon this year is "If Everyone Cared... imagine what the world would be".  We had great events with more than 120 people showing up to fast so far. 

This year we also had some special participants at the Ziontario Fastathon.  Kayla Wyer brought 12 of her companions from the Katimivik group she has been traveling and volunteering with.

In a strange twist of fate, Kayla won the Construction Trip.  At the western Fastathon, the trip was won by Carson Moor -  a driving force behind getting the Fastathon going in the west. Congratulations to Carson and Kayla.

The BC Reunion Fastathon will take place July 21 - 23 at Samish Island campgrounds. Watch for an update after that. 

Thank you to all participants and those who sponsored them. The funds from the event will be used primarily in support of the CORDI Women's Shelter in India. Thank you again for helping make that possible.
