Kagan Kneen, Executive Director of the Lloydminster Men’s Shelter, began his “Running for Shelter” journey on August 1 from Big Berland, AB. His goal is to raise $300,000 by running 50-60 kilometers daily, ending in Wroxton, SK. The funds raised will help build a new shelter with separate dorms for those working on sobriety and those still facing addiction
and mental health challenges.
“The Lloydminster community has always shown tremendous generosity and support, and this BBQ is an opportunity for us to come together and make a real difference,” said Kagan Kneen. “I’m grateful for every step taken, every dollar raised, and every bit of support shown by the people of Lloydminster.”
