My Story…
I'll be taking part in the 2025 Under Armour Eastside 10k, running for the PHS Community Services Society Team. As many of you know I'm attempting to beat all of my personal running records this year and I've chosen this race to attempt to set my new record for 10k.
My dear friend works for PHS, an organization that delivers vital services to some of BC's most marginalized communities, including supportive housing, shelter beds, low-barrier banking, nutritious meals, healthcare, and harm reduction. I am so happy to be running for this team.
Description
Founded in 1993, PHS Community Service Society is a registered charity offering low-barrier supportive housing, shelter, harm reduction, healthcare, and community supports in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and Victoria. Our services include safe consumption sites, recovery programs, affordable dentistry, low-barrier banking for over 7,000 members, and a food program delivering 1,500 meals daily within our Vancouver housing locations and programs. We also partner with Culture Saves Lives for harm reduction in Indigenous communities.
PHS serves individuals at risk of homelessness with complex needs related to severe substance use, mental health, brain injuries, and other acute conditions. With over 1,900 supportive housing units, PHS provides critical assistance to thousands, addressing poverty, trauma, and systemic neglect. Renowned for Insite, North America’s first legal supervised injection site, PHS leads in harm reduction and accessible services for marginalized populations.
