Elektra

Maggie took on her challenge today at Lily Point in Point Roberts! 🌊

From beautiful ocean views to the striking sand cliffs along the shoreline, it was a wonderful day to get outdoors in support of Elektra. Thank you, Maggie, for your enthusiasm and commitment.

The Challenge continues through June 28, with Janet's half marathon still to come next week.

Elisabeth did it! 🌲

Today, as part of Elektra’s Annual Fundraising Challenge, Elisabeth completed her trail run/climb on the Sunshine Coast.

Her goal was to climb more than 700 metres while trail running in support of Elektra – and today she made it happen.

Thank you, Elisabeth, for your determination, energy, and commitment to the Challenge.
