Ryan Aimers, BCom, came back to Homecoming 2018 – and did so for a good cause. Ryan and his former Queen’s housemates organized a 24- hour Homecoming run from Toronto to the house they lived in as students, at 254 Alfred St. in Kingston. On Oct. 18, each participant (10 in total) took turns running relay-style five kilometres at a time, and the crew ran all night, trailed by an RV, to arrive in time for Homecoming the next day (final time: 21 hours 45 minutes). The run was a fundraiser for Mind Over Miles, a Toronto run club that raises awareness of mental health and funds for the Murphy Centre for Mental Health at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Ryan (top row, second from left) reports that the run raised more than $12,700. “Our goal is to do it again next year and get other alumni houses to challenge us to see who can raise the most.” runninghome254.com
