News — 20 July 2010
Guelph resident Dave Nash, right, is making an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the Fastest Crossing of Canada on Foot by a male. Nash is attempting to break this record to bring awareness to the country of the need for equal shared parenting.Nash is pushing for the country’s support of a private members bill, Bill C-422 on Equal Shared Parenting. With a personal history of child custody issues, Nash says he’s not just pushing for the rights of fathers, he’s pushing for the rights of the children first and foremost, as well as equal rights to both mothers and fathers.
Beginning his unsupported trek in Victoria, BC on June 1, 2010, Nash is currently running approximately 60-75 km per day.
He will end his run in Cape Spear, Newfoundland, with help from many local residents along the way who have heard about his cause. More information can be found at www.crosscanadarunforthechildren.com.

Hi Ally!
Thanks for sharing this amazing story with us! But just to confirm, Dave isn’t running for parental rights, he’s running for CHILDREN’S rights to have equal parenting after a divorce. Kids have the right to both parents, they had them both when parents were together, so why not when they are apart?
Thanks again for helping bring awareness to this very serious matter, and hopefully we can open more eyes with it!
Cheers!
