Sasha and Melissa Perron are competitive runners based on the unceded lands of the Lekwungen people. They are Kwakwaka’wakw from Da’naxda’xw First Nation. Boston, Lyndon, Sasha, and Melissa sit down in the studio to talk about running joined by Sandra, Sasha and Melissa’s mom! 

The conversation covers how the siblings got into running and how they have brought awareness to causes through running. This includes a 216 KM run to honour the 215+ children found on residential school grounds in 2021 starting with the Kamloops Indian Residential School. It also includes a recent BMO marathon where they brought awareness to MMIWG2S. There is also discussion on how running can be a profoundly spiritual act.
