What is it?

Our goal is to collectively walk, run, cycle, or travel 8,889 km (this distance between all our CVO locations coast-to-coast), raising $100,000 together.

Why?

Let's get active together in October to continue to bring accessible care to people and pets experiencing homelessness across Canada! 

When?

Bonuses and extras!!!

We've also set up a special community where you can cheer each other on, post pics from your activities, get tips from fitness and pet experts about getting active with and without your animals. We have some special events planned too with Coach Katelyn Moore, and expert speakers about maintaining your health alongside your pets. 

All registered participants also get access to a series of virtual lectures from leading veterinary health professionals throughout October.

You will also get access to our celebration event on November 2nd!!!

What if I have a really big team?
