Esquimalt hosted the Tri of Compassion, a fund-raiser for Victoria’s Women’s Sexual Assault Center. The pics below show the Runners of Compassion team running the food tent team. As we do every year, we bring a dedicated, enthusiastic and fun group of volunteers out to prepare and serve food to hungry triathletes.

Tracey Lubeck (VWSAC): “On behalf of all of us at the Victoria Women’s Sexual Assault Centre, I would like to extend a HUGE thank you for your generous support. I am very pleased to tell you that, in addition to welcoming over 190 participants and 100 volunteers, you helped us to raise an astounding $25,069!! (And donations are still being received!)

All funds raised will go directly towards providing services to survivors of sexualized violence and important prevention education for youth through Project Respect.”

Big kudos to Food Committee lead, John Schmuck, for all his hard work!
