It has become something of a family affair.

     Shaunavon resident, Michelle Hansen, has always enjoyed running and taking part in marathons.

     Earlier this month, on Canada Day, Hansen and her two children made a trip to Toronto to take part in the HBC Run for Canada.

     The Run includes a ten-kilometre run and a three-kilometre walk, as well as a one-kilometre run for kids.

     Michelle says her two children, Rebecca, age ten, and Matt, age six, were very excited to be a part of the marathon. Both children received medals for participating.
     Her sister and brother-in-law also ran in the Marathon.

     The run raises funds for Canadian athletes who are going to the Olympics.
