ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Every kilometre, every dollar raised, every speech. The story below is mine, but none of these numbers happened solo. They exist because a community showed up to back them.

THE BIG MILESTONES

2023 · 160 days · east to west

7,000 km Across Canada

Laced up in St. John's, Newfoundland and ran to Terry Fox's resting place in Port Coquitlam, BC. Slept in a 1985 VW Vanagon every night, livestreamed the whole way, and was picked up by local and national news from coast to coast. Raised $100,000 for cancer research. 16th human ever to cross Canada on foot.

The Book + Cross-Canada Tour

Wrote the story, self-published it, picked up the printed copies in person, and drove a minivan across the country a second time selling them. 1,000 books sold and another $6,070 raised for cancer patients. Every signed copy moved because the community kept showing up.

65 hours · no sleep

280 km Across PEI

Ran the entire length of Prince Edward Island in 65 hours without sleep. Second human ever to do it.

Terry Fox Foundation

Ambassador & National Speaker

2024 New Brunswick ambassador for the Terry Fox Foundation and a current national guest speaker for the Foundation. Over 5,000 students have heard the story in person, and the goal is to keep that number climbing.

WHAT'S NEXT

My son is my priority. Full-time dad first. These are the dreams I'm circling back to when the time is right.

  • Manitoba Again

    A second run across my home province, either the record or something more interesting, filmed and live-streamed end to end.

  • Run Across the USA

    Coast to coast in the lower 48. Same idea, same cause, same livestream.

  • Start a Nonprofit

    Built to directly support cancer patients and the research that gets us closer to a cure.

Want the long version?

I tell this story to classrooms, fundraisers, and full auditoriums. If you've got an audience, I've got a story for them.
