Relay for Hope stops at Canadian Museum for Human Rights

The Mylan Relay for Hope made a stop at Winnipeg's Museum for Human Rights on Wednesday.

The relay – taking place to raise money for HIV/AIDS research, services, and education – is stretching across the country. Runners started in St. John's in April and will end in Hope, B.C.

It is a 36-person team that stopped at the museum Wednesday afternoon, which includes three runners that are tasked with carrying the Relay of Hope baton.

The relay team is sharing the memorial quilt with communities across Canada and meeting with staff of local Canadian AIDS Society offices, for which the funds are being raised. The quilt remembers those who have passed away from the disease.
