"Join Third Annual Charity Run in Abbotsford, BC to support Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation"

Mercy 4 Mankind, a subsidiary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA), is honored to host a charity event to raise funds for the dedicated staff and courageous patients at Fraser valley health care foundation. We are deeply moved by the selfless work of the doctors, nurses, and support staff who provide comfort and healing to those suffering from illness and injury.

Our charity run/walk event allows us to embrace the Abbotsford community and provide support and encouragement to the Fraser Health.

We are thrilled to bring people from all backgrounds and abilities to participate in our inaugural "Run for Abbotsford" for this worthy cause. Whether you are a competitive runner, a casual walker, or someone who simply wants to offer your presence in support, you are welcome here with open arms. Veterans, families, children and seniors - come one, come all!

Let us unite and take each step forward with empathy and compassion for our neighbours. The festive community atmosphere will remind us of our shared humanity.

We sincerely hope this charity run/walk event provides the Fraser valley health care foundation, its care providers, and its patients with the necessary resources. Let's join hands in solidarity!
