RCD took part in the BMO Vancouver 8KM Race this weekend as a Silver Charity Partner. It was our 3rd year participating in the marathon event, and this time we broke our own record with a full team of 29 charity runners. As a team, we have currently raised $8,000 with the support of friends, families, and community members.

Thank you for cheering us on and supporting the work we do for people with disabilities.

Congratulations to all the runners for training hard and crossing the finish line together!
