In the home stretch: Fast Eddy returning to Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops man who goes by the name Fast Eddy is racing towards his hometown on the return leg of his cross-country run.
Edward Dostaler began his run in Vancouver on March 1, 2015 to raise money for breast cancer and Alzheimer’s charities.
Dostaler says his solo journey has opened his eyes to the kindness of strangers.
“I’m much more humble now and appreciative of all the people that have actually helped out,” Dolstaler said. “It’s really people that have kept it going. Truckers are amazing. A simple random act of kindness that can create an endless ripple, someone handing out water and those kind of things. You really appreciate peoples’ time.”
