When Doreen Janvier returned to her reserve two-and-a-half years ago, the normally prudent 29 year old threw caution to the wind and quit her job with Syncrude Canada.

Participating in the 1993 Sacred Run in New Zealand was truly meant to be for a group of young athletes from central Canada.

Left penniless and ticket-less after their trainer failed to show on the eve of the run, the youths were the recipients of a wave of financial support that floated them to New Zealand and back.

More than $14,000 were donated to the First Nations Running Club, with an additional $15,000 granted through the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
