Running For The Red 

A girl from Winnipeg will be starting her 300 mile run today.
 
Kayleen McKay will be running from Duck Bay to Winnipeg's Alexander Docks to bring awareness to Missing and Murdered Aboriginal peoples, and to raise money for the "Drag The Red" group who helped look for her cousin in the Red River.
 
McKay says so far she has received a lot of positive responses for this.
 
"A lot of people are very supportive of me and they've been wishing me nothing but the best. And my school is very excited for me and my family cant wait for me to start."
 
She does have a GoFundMe page set up called "Kayleen Mckay's fun for Drag the Red". And she will be stopping in Dauphin on May 2nd.
