Rev Katherine is running!
Every three years, during the meeting of the national General Council meeting, United Church folks of all ages and stages participate in a 5K walk/run/roll to raise money for the Alvin Dixon Memorial Fund. Alvin Dixon was a repected elder of the Heiltsuk First Nation. and a survivor of the Alberni Residential School. This fund, established in his name, helps Indigenous people access post-secondary education in relegious or continuing education centres.

On August 10th, Rev Katherine and her daughters will be part of it all as they attend the meeting in Calgary. You can support this important ministry and help them get to their fundraising goal, but making a donation through Canada Helps, by going to this link:
