The Krista Johnson Memorial Run for Change returns to Riverside Park in Pembroke on June 12th, 2022. The event is in memory of Krista Johnson, who started the run in 2010 and was tragically killed in 2012.
Krista’s mother Laurie Johnson says funds raised help support the Elevate Youth Wellness Centre in Pembroke.
