WHY WE GATHER

For Nicholas, and for every young person who needs support.

Our annual 5 km gathering brings people together to remember Nicholas, raise awareness, and support local youth mental health initiatives.

The Nicholas Zhou Legacy Fund was established at the BC Interior Community Foundation in 2022 in memory of Nicholas, who died at age 19 after struggling with depression. The fund helps bring resources and support to youth, and to the friends and families beside them.
