Edward Dostaler (born September 20, 1988), also known as Fast Eddy, is a Canadian charity runner who is running solo across Canada and back to raise money for Breast Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease.〔Theobald, Claire. ("Fast Eddy makes Edmonton stop on marathon run" ), ''Edmonton Sun'', April 9, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕 He was born in Hinton, Alberta〔Bigrigg, Cynthia. ("Fast Eddy takes on Canada" ), ''Hinton Parklander'', February 26, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕〔Waugh, Tyler. ("Fast Eddy Dostaler Is Worth Watching" ), ''The Hinton Voice'', March 26, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕 and currently resides in Kamloops, British Columbia.〔Hauptman, Todd. ("Fast Eddy Embarks Upon Canada Wide Run" ), ''KamloopsBCNow'', January 14, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕 =="Fast Eddy" Solo Cross Canada and Back Run== Dostaler embarked on a solo 21,585 kilometre〔 "across Canada and back" run on March 1, 2015 in Victoria BC.〔Petruk, Tim. ("‘Fast Eddy’ takes off Sunday" ), ''Kamloops This Week'', February 26, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕 He is running alone, pushing his supplies in a jogging stroller which he has named "Aurora."〔Harland, Juli. ("The countdown is on for ‘Fast’ Eddy Dostaler’s cross-Canada run" ), ''Camrose Canadian'', March 25, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕 The money raised for the two causes—Breast Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease—stays in the province that it was raised in.〔Fawcett, Erin. ("Man running across Canada coming through City next week" ), ''Red Deer Express'', April 8, 2015. Retrieved on April 22, 2015.〕 In August 2015, it was reported that Dostaler was running low on funds and may have to cancel the return journey.〔Brothen, Glynn ("Kamloops man may cancel return trip on cross-canada run" ), ''Infotel.ca'', August 25, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕〔Williams, Adam ("Fast Eddy runs low on cash; journey in jeopardy" ), ''Clearwater Times'', August 28, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕 However, Dostaler has stated that he will do whatever it takes to complete the run.〔Peters, James ("'Fast Eddy' Not Giving Up: Dostaler determined to finish what he started." ), ''CFJC-TV'', August 29, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕 On September 19, 2015, Dostaler realized that the Marine Atlantic ferry from Sydney, Nova Scotia to Argentia, Newfoundland, which was more about 420 km away at the time, would be closing for the winter in 5 days.〔Brothen, Glynn ("Kamloops man pushing hard in last leg of run across Canada" ), ''Infotel.ca'', September 22, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕 Missing this ferry would mean that Eddy would have to extend the run by roughly 900 km. This would also cause him to run through Atlantic Canada during the winter months, which can be particularly harsh. He managed to run an average of about 85 km per day for 5 days to make it to the ferry, just two hours before the last departure.〔Foroozan, Tahirih. ("Fast Eddy Lives up to His Name During Cross Country Run" ), ''KamloopsBCNow'', September 25, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕 On September 20, 2015, Eddy ran across Confederation Bridge which links the provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, becoming the first person to include this bridge as part of a cross Canada run.〔Stewart, Dave. ("Fast Eddy runs across bridge as he goes coast to coast, and back" ), ''KamloopsBCNow'', September 23, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕 His run across the bridge was part of Canada's largest Terry Fox Run, commemorating the 35th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope. The story of Terry Fox was one of Dostaler's main inspirations,〔FriendlyJoel. ("Fast Eddy runs across bridge as he goes coast to coast, and back" ), ''FriendlyFred.ca'', September 11, 2015. Retrieved on September 26, 2015.〕 and so it is only fitting that he was able to partake in this historic event. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Dostaler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
