Five kilometres past Woss, Ryan and Jen take over, heading for the Nimpkish River. Fun fact: these two have been friends for years — Ryan was the emcee at Jen’s wedding – but each came to End2End without knowing the other was looking to join the team. It’s a small world. Or a small island, one where when we talk about neighbours helping neighbours it feels like we’re talking about real people, not just an abstract concept. This is one of the reasons why – perhaps sadly — End2End resonates so strongly with Islanders. We all know, or at least know of, families like Jen’s, ones that have been blindsided by childhood cancer and are grateful for the community’s support.
