Fast Eddy completes There and Back run across Canada
KAMLOOPS — Fast Eddy has completed his ambitious goal of running across Canada and back to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s and breast cancer charities.
Edward Dostaler set out from Clover Point in Victoria on March 1 2015, and on Saturday he returned after a final 24-hour run.
He was greeted by well over 100 people cheering him on as he concluded his 608-day journey.
“It’s still kind of anti-climactic,” Dostaler said, “I kind of viewed it as just another run. It’s been day-in, day-out. I’m sure it will hit me in about a week or so when I realize what’s been accomplished and that I’m not doing this anymore.”
