On April 30, coinciding with her mother香蕉视频直播檚 birthday, Marcellus will be setting out on a 123-kilometre cycling and walking journey from Penticton to Vernon, using hospitals as her landmarks. She will be travelling on the KVR trail, a trip that she had planned on doing with her mother but didn香蕉视频直播檛 get a chance.

Koski was known as a passionate member of the Moms Stop the Harm group, which she became involved in after her son died of an overdose in 2016. Thus, her daughter has launched Carrie香蕉视频直播檚 Cause, a fundraiser which will help . This project is being led by The Bridge Youth and Family Services.

She explained that a lot was taken away from her mother throughout her brother香蕉视频直播檚 addiction and after losing him.

香蕉视频直播淚 think a youth treatment facility would be something that she would have built with her own hands if she could have,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Marcellus encourages the community to set out a candle or purple ribbon on the day of her journey to wish Koski peace and honour the strongest woman she knew. She made it clear her choice to pass by every hospital is strictly to honour her mother and is not in any way affiliated with Interior Health. She discouraged gatherings of any kind at the hospitals.

If travel restrictions ease by the end of April, Marcellus香蕉视频直播� brothers, who currently live on the coast, will join her on her journey.
