About Us
Who are We?
Runners of Compassion is a registered non-profit charitable organization whose members participate as a group to raise awareness of and provide funding for social and charitable causes.
Runners of all levels and ability are invited to join the Nanaimo Chapter of Runners of Compassion.
Founded in Victoria in 1998, Runners of Compassion has since provided funding for many causes in that region and abroad.
Our Objectives are:
- to promote awareness of local and global social issues;
- to provide support to local and global charities through our financial and human resource capacity;
- to act as a resource base for fledgling or unsung charitable agencies;
- to support other charities through running-based activities
Our Philosophy
We have made a commitment to improve our level of fitness and overall well-being through running. Furthermore, we are choosing to build on this commitment by helping to improve the lives of others. It is our intention to use running as a means to provide charitable support.
