Cloverdale paramedic Will Rogers is going to run, bike and swim more than 960 kilometres to support a Surrey organization that works to help sex trade workers get off the streets.
The Million Dollar Journey to Stop Sexual Exploitation aims to raise money for the Servants Anonymous Society.
Rogers, a 22-year veteran paramedic and Ironman athlete, kicks off his quest this weekend, when he will swim 21 kilometres from Sturdies Bay on Galiano Island to Tsawwassen.
Supporters are invited to greet him as he completes the first part of the journey on Saturday, July 11.
“I am planning to be out of the water at the south shore of the ferry causeway at Tsawwassen between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.," Rogers said. "I hope to see you and your family and or friends there."
From July 17-18, Rogers goes on to bike 440 kms from Victoria to Penticton, and from Aug. 5-22, he will run 500 kms on a slightly longer route from Pentiction back to Victoria.
If you'd like to support Rogers, donations can be made at www.sasurrey.ca, by calling 604-590-2304, at any Bank of Montreal branch (account # 8097584) or by mailing a cheque to SAS, #201-7400 132 St., Surrey, B.C. V3W 4M7.
All donations of $30 or more will be entered into a draw.
