Northern Lights Movement for Kids continues 111 km challenge
Celeste Leray-Leicht is continuing to honour her son, Jacob, connect Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth, and get people to be more active with the Northern Lights Movement for Kids.
Leray-Leicht started the movement with her family, and she is currently encouraging people to register for their 111 km challenge, which was inspired by the No. 11 jersey Jacob wore while playing with the Humboldt Broncos. Jacob lost his life in the tragic bus crash on April 6, 2018.
Anyone can participate in the challenge by moving 111 km on land or water during the month of June.
“You can walk, bike, run, kayak or canoe,” Leray-Leicht said. “This challenges people to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. There is no sophisticated way of keeping track with us. We’re inviting people to just keep track themselves.”
