Michael Dunahee Keep the Hope Alive

The 35th annual family 5km walk/run will take place locally through the beautiful streets of Esquimalt on a wheelchair, stroller and pet friendly route or you can participate remotely from where ever you are. Join us in supporting Child Find BC.


In response to COVID-19 we took The Michael Dunahee Keep the Hope Alive walk/run to a virtual platform which was such a huge success. With this year marking 35 years since the disappearance of Michael on March 24, 1991 we want this year to be even bigger inviting those near and far to participate.


We will go live at 10am (BC time) on our Facebook page "We Will Never Forget Michael Dunahee" to allow everyone near and far to hear the speeches and warm up with us before setting off on the 5km route.


Please join us once again for this family event from where ever you wish to participate.
