Jon Nabbs: former Kiwi farmer set to run 8000km across Canada to raise money for cancer research

View descriptionShare

One Kiwi man is embarking on an epic 8000km run across Canada in a bid to raise money for cancer research.

Jon Nabbs lost both his parents to cancer in the space of three years, and seeks to raise at least $75,000 to fund child cancer research and support services.

He says he's run through five Canadian provinces, with four left to go by early 2024.

"I'm expecting to be through Manitoba into Saskatchewan next Sunday, it's literally taken 90 days of running about 45 to 50 kilometres per day, with rest days, to get through Ontario."
