KidStart is a volunteer-based mentoring program that connects vulnerable children and youth with positive adult role models. It opens doors for kids who are experiencing challenges in their lives. Terry Kratzmann was a KidStart mentor for more than three years and now he wants to help the program continue to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. Starting on April 4th and finishing on April 28th, Terry will run Vancouver Island from tip to tip to raise awareness and funds for KidStart. Terry will be joined by friends and running clubs along the way, including Shane Douglas from Courtenay and Jim Finlayson from Victoria.
