Members of the ship’s company of His Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) St. John’s participated in the 30th annual installment of the ship’s Run the Rock fundraiser from July 3–15. A team of 14 sailors ran relay-style across Newfoundland, from Port aux Basques to St. John’s, in support of the Newfoundland and Labrador chapter of Make-A-Wish Canada, making fundraising stops and meeting members of various communities along the way.
This year’s Run the Rock team raised a total of $183,685 before the official wrap-up on July 15. If you missed out and wish to support their efforts, donations are still welcome at https://makeawishca.donordrive.com/events/1378. Over the past three decades, HMCS St. John’s has raised just under $2 million through Run the Rock to help grant wishes for children battling critical illness.
