A Nova Scotia man crossing Canada on foot is passing through southwestern Ontario. Trevor Redmond is perhaps better known as the ‘Fellow in Yellow.’ His run is part of a personal mission to get us all moving in mind, body, and spirit.
“I'm dressed in yellow. It really highlights health care. You know, we heal as we move,” he told CTV News London.
Since leaving Halifax on March 26, Trevor has covered over 4,200 kilometres on his way to the west coast. Much of his journey has highlighted small towns, where Trevor's message seems to resonate, often with pure emotion. “I just think it's so incredible what he's doing, I’m so inspired by it,” said one woman who saw him pass by her home.
“Like, there's just not many people in the world that would do it and be able to do it.” Another man making a donation to support his journey added, “COVID has crushed a lot of the small towns. Basically, the spirit of them.
So, if you can get somebody out here, it's motivating to really focus on that physical aspect of life. It's only going to benefit everybody as a whole in the long run.” Trevor's passion for physical and mental health wellness stems from a tragic occurrence in his teens.
Trevor Redmond, a Nova Scotia man crossing Canada on foot, was in southwestern Ontario “I was struck by a car when I was 15. And for me, yeah, it's life-altering,” he said. The crash, which Trevor said, “nearly took one of my legs,” occurred just days before he would watch Rick Hanse.
