After more than 900 kilometres and two weeks, a Tataskweyak Cree Nation woman reached the finish line of a run across Manitoba to raise awareness about diabetes in Indigenous communities.

Tamara Beardy, a member of Tataskweyak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba, says she hopes to inspire Indigenous people to take care of their diabetes. “A lot of times, our First Nations people, they hide behind the disease or they hide it and complications arise faster than they need to,” she said.
