VANCOUVER After running more than 1,200 kilometres on the Galloping Goose Trail so far this May, a Victoria marathoner has almost completed her goal of running 30 marathons in 30 days; but her fundraising goal still has some distance to go. Yana Hempler was running with two friends by her side Friday on her 28th marathon day and said she was feeling awesome. The marathoner is attempting to raise $500,000 for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation and – in her way – honour those she calls our health-care heroes. It was those heroes that provided care for a dear friend of Hempler’s back in 2019. He was critically ill, suffering from a rare blood condition. Today, he is alive and doing well thanks to the care he received while in hospital.
