A New Zealand "life enthusiast" is passing through the area as he runs across Canada raising support for child cancer patients in Canada and his home country.
Jon Nabbs explains he was partly inspired by the impact cancer's had on his family - and by Canadian icon Terry Fox.
Nabbs says he's already travelled almost 4000 kilometres from St. John's, arriving in Wawa Monday night - greeted by a number of people by the Goose, even speaking to some local schools on Tuesday - and he says the response has been "fantastic".
Acknowledging he's into one of the more difficult parts of the journey - set to get more difficult with the colder weather over the next couple months - Nabbs expects to make it to British Columbia in December.
Nabbs thanks Wawa for welcoming him - particularly the Klockars family - noting anyone wishing to support his efforts to fight childhood cancer can check out his website - jonnabbs.com - for updates and more information about his journey, and to donate.
