Record Breaking Fastathon!!!


Fastathon this year was unlike any other year as we ran concurrent events in Ontario and Alberta. Former fasters, along with new, joined together surviving only on juice and broth for 36 hours to raise almost $35,000!! How awesome!

The theme was "Give a Little Bit" and this is an incredible example of approximately 100 people all doing a little to raise more money than any other year! These funds will mostly be used to support the CORDI Women's Shelther in India and the remainder will be used wherever it is needed most over the next year.


Fastathon is an excellent opportunity for friends, both old and new, to meet, learn and help make a difference in the world. If we each do a little we can sure achieve a lot!

Thanks to everyone who helped make Fastathon East and Fastathon West a success! We couldn't do it without you!
