Erika and Jared on the Camino de Santiago

For the last month, my friends Erika and Jared have been walking the 800 km Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain. In English, it is known as the Way of St. James and it is a centuries old pilgrimage route. Erika and Jared are both individuals with big hearts and they are using this opportunity to raise money for War Child Canada, a charity dedicated to providing urgently needed humanitarian assistance to war-affected children around the world. Jared is certainly no stranger to long distance treks as he cycled coast-to-coast across Canada a couple of years ago to raise funds for the World Wildlife Foundation.
They have been sending out detailed updates via their Facebook Group during their journey and they are currently about 70 km from Santiago.
