Running for Kristen

Jay Brown, aged 8, was eager to race ahead for the seventh annual Kristen Cameron 5K Fun Run on Saturday morning in front of Summerside Intermediate School. The run is held in honour of Cameron, a Kinkora native, who was struck by a drunk driver while training on her bicycle and left paralyzed in 2010 in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States. Her aunt, Rachel Cameron, says Cameron graduated from Mercyhurst University in Erie in May with her master’s degree in organizational leadership. “It was her first time back in Erie since her accident, so it was very emotional but she saw people she hadn’t seen for eight or nine years and the family were there to support her at graduation,” said her aunt.
