    David McGuire, a brain injury survivor, suffers from short-term memory loss. Despite his daily struggle to remember the run he had completed the day before, he succeeded in running a marathon every day for eight months to raise awareness of brain injury and its prevention. His journey, A Run to Remember, began in St. John’s and ended in Victoria, and connected thousands of Canadians along the way.
