Evan Dunfee can91裸聊视频檛 imagine his life without race walking.

So the 28-year-old from Richmond, B.C., has spent the past 25 days walking in hopes to help other kids realize the transformative power of sport.

Dunfee, who was fourth in the 50-kilometre race walk at the 2016 Rio Olympics, has walked 25 kilometres each day for the past 25 days to raise money for KidSportBC, an organization that provides financial assistance for children91裸聊视频檚 sports registration fees and equipment.

91裸聊视频淭heir mission is so simple, get more kids registered in sport, break down that financial barrier that prevents some families from putting their kids in sport, and take that pressure off them,91裸聊视频� Dunfee said. 91裸聊视频滸rowing up and being transformed by sport, I think about the person I would be if I hadn91裸聊视频檛 had sport. I don91裸聊视频檛 know where I91裸聊视频檇 be but I91裸聊视频檇 be much worse off.

91裸聊视频淚 owe so much of who I am to the experiences I91裸聊视频檝e had through sport, and the idea that opportunity doesn91裸聊视频檛 exist for kids eats me up a little bit.91裸聊视频�

The fundraiser was also in celebration of KidSport91裸聊视频檚 25th anniversary. He91裸聊视频檚 raised over $8,000 91裸聊视频� enough to fund 20 kids in sports. He91裸聊视频檚 also doing 25 school presentations, most of them next month, and hopes that will push him over his goal of raising $25,000.

91裸聊视频淢y big message with the school talks is: find something you love, find something you91裸聊视频檙e passionate about, and then use it help others,91裸聊视频� he said.

Dunfee has completed most of the walks around Vancouver91裸聊视频檚 Lower Mainland. Local runners have joined him for some. His dad accompanied him on a bike for one. For Friday91裸聊视频檚 finale, he was meeting retired teammate Inaki Gomez for the final 10K which would take the two to Gomez91裸聊视频檚 downtown Vancouver law office.

91裸聊视频淕lad we get the opportunity to finish it up together,91裸聊视频� he said.

Dunfee has averaged two hours two minutes over 25 kilometres, which is quicker than he91裸聊视频檇 expected. An added benefit: he feels stronger for having completed the walks.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e definitely felt like I91裸聊视频檝e gotten a lot fitter, despite not actively doing this as a fitness thing, I haven91裸聊视频檛 really been treating this like training, I91裸聊视频檝e been treating it more like exercise,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淏ut I definitely feel fitter and stronger than I did three weeks ago.91裸聊视频�

Dunfee91裸聊视频檚 fourth place finish was one of Canada91裸聊视频檚 biggest stories in Rio. He was upgraded to bronze after being jostled by Hirooki Arai of Japan. Arai appealed, bumping Dunfee to fourth, and the Canadian opted not to file a counter-appeal, saying in a statement: 91裸聊视频淚 will never allow myself to be defined by the accolades I receive, rather the integrity I carry through life.91裸聊视频�
