Another big milestone for Landon! Yesterday he crossed the Canso Causeway and officially made it to Cape Breton Island!

From The Hawk on Cape Sable Island to Cape Breton, he’s been putting in some serious kilometres, all in support of Autism Nova Scotia!

Now he’s making his way toward Meat Cove and that finish line! If you happen to see him, be sure to give him a honk and some words of encouragement!!

We’re still cheering you on from the Lobster Capital, Landon!

Drop a message for Landon in the comments and help give him that extra push for the final stretch!

And he’s off! ❤️

Wow, what a send-off!

Yesterday marked the beginning of Landon’s Tip to Tip Run Across Nova Scotia, and our community certainly made sure he knew we were behind him as he set out on his incredible 784 km journey in support of Autism Nova Scotia.

From the people lining the route and cheering him on, to the firefighters and other runners who ran alongside him and the fire departments who helped give him an unforgettable es**rt off Cape Sable Island, it was a pretty special morning.

Today is Day 2, and Landon has a LOT of Nova Scotia still ahead of him!

So wherever his journey takes him over the coming days, if you see Landon running through your community, give him a wave, honk your horn, make some noise and CHEER HIM ON!

And if you’d like to help make every kilometre count, you can support Landon’s fundraising efforts for Autism Nova Scotia here:

From the southern tip of Nova Scotia all the way to the northern tip!

We’re cheering for you every step of the way!
