Erin Karpluk for World Vision (2015)

Erin Karpluk is all in. When the actress, best known for her starring role on Being Erica, was approached by World Vision (an international advocacy organization working with children living in poverty-stricken communities) to run a portion of the BMO Vancouver Marathon in support of the charity, she knew she’d run the entire distance. “Running a marathon was one thing I wanted to check off my bucket list, so naturally I wanted to run the whole thing,” she explains.

“When you can’t be there and help directly, it’s nice to know that in some way I’m raising awareness, helping people and putting out good vibes.”
