Goal is to raise $10,000 for Raising the Roof

On Saturday, a Kitchener man is hoping to inspire all of us to complete a difficult run in support of those experiencing homelessness.

Ryan Douglas will run 100 km from Vineland to the CN Tower as part of a new non profit, Horseshoe for the Homeless, which is raising funds in partnership with Raising the Roof.

Raising the Roof is a national charity dedicated to finding long-term solutions to homelessness by providing employment and housing opportunities for those experiencing homelessness.

Ryan is looking to raise $10,000.
