Hi, I'm comedian Andrew Barr and I'm gonna be running for 12hrs on a treadmill, live-streamed, to raise money for the Renascent Foundation and End Overdose.

The Renascent Foundation operates the rehab facility I personally attended and I can tell you first hand that the work that they do helps people to turn their lives around. Without the experience I had there, I might not be here today.

End Overdose is a non-profit that I am also a big fan of, working to end drug-related overdose through education, medical intervention, and public awareness.

Sobriety has turned my life around and through it, I have found a large following of kindred spirits on social media, chiefly located in Canada and America. To honour this, it's important to me to be donating the money on both sides of the border, so that there is opportunity for help all those who have been so helpful to me.
