  2. Gouache illustration of a tree-framed path crossing a small road beside fields, hedges and a bus shelter, with distant homes, water and a tiny walker.

    Day 27 · Planned

    Royal Oak, Saanich

    British Columbia

    The planned 12.1-mile leg heads south from Sidney to Royal Oak, Saanich. A former municipal center and a railway trail give this suburban area a layered history.

    Bone Marrow Awareness Day — Victoria

    Downtown Victoria, British Columbia

    The seventh planned Awareness Day remains in Victoria before the return crossing. The walking miles pause, with time in the itinerary to learn what joining a registry may involve.

The flyer: STOP BLOOD CANCER set in tall letters over a dark plum page, a quote, and a QR code beside the words TEXT JADA TO 61474.One standing face of the table tent: the same headline and quote on the left, a large QR code on the right.

Take it off the screen

Print it. Put it where people already stand.

A coffee counter, a church foyer, a break room, a race table. Every sheet carries the code that opens Jeana’s walk, and a number to text for anyone who would rather not scan — no app, no wifi, nothing to hand back.

Everything else for running a drive
