Run For Fallen Soldiers Reaches Final Lap

A 13 year old's run to support our troops is reaching it's final leg today.

Since May 28th, Marshall Howard has been running the equivalent of a marathon during his lunch hours to raise money for the Pte. David Greenslade Memorial Bursary and the Oromocto Military Resource Centre for Youth programs in memory of his uncle.

He recently received a Diamond Jubilee medal for his efforts.

Marshall's mother, Dorothy, tells CHSJ News, the people in the town have been very supportive but unfortunately less than 500 dollars has been raised so far.

She's hoping people will come out to support her son and make a donation.


He will begin his run around noon at Quispamsis Middle School.
