Jesse Walker of Owen Sound will once again be running to raise money for childhood cancer research.
Walker, who had a cancerous tumour removed three years ago at age 14, will run a marathon on Saturday, August 28.
A year ago, Walker ran a half marathon that shattered his expectations in terms of funds raised.
In 2020, Walker had a modest goal of raising $ 1,000. He ended up generating $ 28,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
This year, Walker will run a full marathon.
The run will start in Shallow Lake and weave it’s way east, then north to Wolseley and eventually will head south to his family home in Georgian Bluffs.

Jesse Walker was a guest on the CFOS Morning Show with The Great Paul Hill
