VICTORIA Victoria marathon runner Yana Hempler began a quest on May 1 to run 30 marathons in 30 days to raise $500,000 for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation. Hempler is raising money for the foundation as a way of saying thank you for the care hospitals provided a critically ill friend in 2019. She says her friend was suffering from a rare blood illness and thanks to the care he received he is alive and well today. “The marathon is a great way to honour the people that helped to save his life,” said Hempler. “It is also a way to say thank you to the people who save many, many lives on a daily basis.”
