EP 220: Andrew Tsang - Running for Campfire Circle

About this episode

Andrew Tsang shares his journey of running a 260+ KM relay to support Campfire Circle, an organization aiding children impacted by cancer.

In this episode, we dive into Andrew Tsang's massive undertaking: a 260+ KM relay journey from Toronto to Muskoka in support of Campfire Circle. This incredible organization provides life-changing camp experiences for children impacted by cancer, offering them a chance to heal through play and joy—even while receiving treatment on-site. As someone who has personally felt the impact of cancer within his own family, having lost his dad after a very short battle with CNS Lymphoma, this mission is deeply personal for Andrew. We explore the logistics and "why" behind the 260km trek to Muskoka, along with his pivotal place in the running community through Stouffville Run Crew, Markville Run Crew and Lululemon, which is why he has a team (including your humble host John Shep!) running with him.
