Since visiting the coast of British Columbia a few summers ago, Adelaine had fallen in love with its beauty and magnitude. In a small town north of Vancouver, BC a fascinating story is being written. In her short time there, she was told numerous, eerily similar stories about running shoes washing up on the beach. Since 2007 at least 16 running shoes have been found.
