Go Challenge Yourself

I'm Fundraising in Support of SickKids!

*UPDATE 2/12 WOW! I hit my third goal in one day! Your notes and generousity make me truly thankful and motivated to keep working for myself and the sick kids. I've increased my fundraising goal again in hopes of raising even more for SickKids.*
__

Hi! My name is James and I am 11 years old. 

I am currently training for my first half marathon, the 21km de Montreal on April 19th, 2026. 

I am running to challenge myself, because I enjoy running, and because I want to fundraise for SickKids. I want to fundraise for SickKids hospital because many patients there are the sickest in Canada, and they can’t do what I’m doing. So I am running to try to help them have the same opportunities as me. 

I have been running 3 times a week in the dead of winter in order to train for this, in the early mornings before school and on the weekends. It's been cold and dark but it's been fun! I have been pushing myself hard to do this run, because that's what it takes to achieve your goals. So please consider supporting me and the patients, staff, and families at SickKids

Thank you for your time.

I’ve seen the hard work, the joy, and the discipline you’ve poured into this, James. And knowing it’s for something bigger than yourself makes it even more powerful. 🙌🏽 I’m beyond proud of you, we all are. Keep leading with heart. Keep showing what’s possible. The world is better because you’re in it.
