The Tears to Hope Society’s third annual relay run for Murdered & Missing Indigenous Women, Girls (MMWIG) and boys/men was able to take place over the weekend despite temperatures in most parts of northwest B.C. skyrocketing.
Runners from Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Smithers and Gingolx ran to all the way Terrace along Hwy 16, Hwy 37 and Hwy113 and they finished the relay at Ferry Island.
Nalaine Morin and her brother Peter Morin from Tahltan First Nation started off the 2021 relay run from Smithers back on June 26.
The society also retained its virtual relay run which started last year because of COVID-19. The relay had over a 100 people who registered to run for the cause, including an Ontario-based youth organization and even participants from the U.S. and New Zealand who ran virtually.
