Leslieville girl hosts second Evangeline Walks event over Thanksgiving long weekend to help raise funds for Covenant House
Leslieville’s Evangeline Link will be spending this upcoming Thanksgiving long weekend doing what she did at the same time last year, going on a marathon walk to raise funds to help young people in need.
The second annual Evangeline Walks event will see the Grade 7 student walk 100 kilometres in support of Covenant House.
She will start the walk just outside Hamilton and head back to her Toronto home, a distance of 100 kilometres.
In 2022, Link walked 91 kilometres from her grandparents house in Binbrook, near Hamilton, to her Leslieville home. This year the distance has increased to 100 killometres.
Last year’s walk raised $6,000, and this year’s fundraising target is $10,000.
Covenant House Toronto helps to protect and rebuild the lives of young people facing challenges related to homelessness.
Link will be accompanied on the walk, taking place over four days on the Thanksgiving weekend, by family members and friends.
