Description:In the spring of 2011, a small group of volunteers set off from St. John’s, Newfoundland on a journey across Canada. They would run the same path that Terry Fox had set out on more than 30 years before them—ocean to ocean, along rivers, across prairies and over mountains. Their message was simple: child poverty is everywhere—even in Canada—and we have the power to stop it.There was just one problem. Would anyone be listening?This is the story of the One Nation Run. It is a story of adventure and perseverance and of the struggle to awaken Canadians to the needs in our midst. But more than anything else, it is a story for the children of this country, written in the enduring hope that every child’s future can be glorious and free.Bryce follows his heart on this incredible journey of running, generosity and justice.
