FDU(A) members to run 50 km in support of Christmas Daddies

Members of Fleet Diving Unit (Atlantic) (FDU(A)) and their families will once again participate in their 37. Annual Christmas Daddies Navy Divers Run on Saturday, December 7, 2019, to collect money for children in need during Christmas time.
The 50 km trek will begin at 8:30 a.m., from 12 Wing Shearwater’s Lower Base, proceeding along Pleasant Street, Prince Arthur Avenue, Portland Street, Forrest Hills Drive, and Main Street in Dartmouth and ending in Halifax at the CTV News studios on 2885 Robie St.
FDU(A) members will appear on the 56. Annual Christmas Daddies Telethon to present funds raised from pledges and donations collected along the route.
Since their first year of involvement in 1983 for the Navy Divers Run, nearly $313 500 have been collected by FDU(A). Last year, they collected $13 000, let’s see if people will continue to be so generous this year. So, if you see a bunch of people running down the streets and roads throughout Halifax Regional Municipality, please give to this worthy cause.
