A family of eight from Quebec is trying to raise money for kids' fitness in a unique way.
The Chicoine family is running a Marathon of Health to raise money for Kidsport Canada, Right to Play, and Get America Fit.
Doctor Ed Chicoine said the trip will take them from Vancouver to St. John's, down the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S., over to California and back up to Vancouver for a total of about 21,000 kilometers.
He said small lifestyle changes can make a big difference, and wants to help people make health a priority.
Chicoine said they began the journey on May 9, and believes they will be back in Vancouver by February.
