Steve Wood, a local runner is once again raising money for the Robbie Dean Family Counselling Centre through Ottawa Race Weekend next month. Last year Wood raised over $6,000 by running locally. He says this year’s run hits closer to home.
Wood kept his run local last year due to the pandemic and still managed to raise thousands of dollars. He tells myFM News that he hopes to do the same this year.
The local runner says you can follow and donate to him through social media.
Woods says in a tragic event, he lost his daughter in May of 2021 to addiction. So this run is in her honor and to help other families who are struggling.
