Summary
Saskatoon teacher Megan Wotherspoon is running 60 kilometers a day for 30 days across Saskatchewan — from Stony Rapids to the U.S. border near Climax — in a breathtaking tribute to her mother, who died of leukemia at 38, the same age Megan is now. A seasoned ultramarathoner, she’s tackling this grueling 1,500-kilometer journey on rural gravel roads to honor her mom’s memory and raise $15,000 for leukemia research. Her father supports her with pride, and she’s keeping her students and the public updated via a live tracker. Inspired by Terry Fox, Megan’s run is both a personal pilgrimage and a powerful call to action for cancer research, culminating where her mother was born.
