The White House Runners, who departed from Montreal on Canada Day, include Abbott students Akshay Grover, twin brothers Mathieu and Marc-André Blouin, and Aidan Yardley-Jones, a student at Dawson College.
The four met while on their West Island high school cross country running team. The four athletes, who hope to raise more than $40,000 for the Terry Fox Canada Foundation, have raised close to $4,500 to date.
