The Mission · Canadian Tire Jumpstart

Every Mile Has a Purpose.

Jumpstart helps kids in financial need get into sport. Registration fees, equipment, transportation, the stuff that quietly keeps kids on the sidelines. Every dollar from a sponsored mile goes straight to giving another kid a shot at the game that could change their life.

The Goal
$5,550
550 miles · any amount · every dollar to Jumpstart

PC100 raised over $2,000. LO550 is going for $5,550 — more than 2.5× that, one mile at a time.

A Massive Thank You

Canadian Tire Jumpstart

Sport Grant Awarded
$1,000
Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities

Jumpstart and Canadian Tire are backing LO550 with a $1,000 sport grant — fuel, gear, and support for the 550 miles ahead. They're the reason kids across Canada get to play, and now they're helping this run happen too. Thank you doesn't cover it, but every single mile is run for the kids you put in the game.

Why I'm Doing This

Why I'm Running 550 Miles.

After running my first 100 mile race at 17 years old, I realized there was so much more my body was hiding from me. I have the ability to do big things and create real opportunity for a lot of people, and it would be a shame not to go out and put every ounce of effort I can into something as big as running from the Niagara border all the way to the Thousand Islands — every mile twice.

I want to be the first person my age to ever pull off a goal like this. I want to inspire people. And I want to raise thousands of dollars for a cause that matters: Canadian Tire Jumpstart, helping kids who can't afford it get into sport.

If I can run 21 marathons back to back, you can sponsor one mile.

How It Works

The Stone Method.

Every single day is an out-and-back marathon. No miles skipped, no miles shuttled. Here's exactly how it works.

  1. 01
    Start at the stone

    Begin each day at a marked point on the shoreline — Point A. Day one starts at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.

  2. 02
    Run 13.1 out

    Run 13.1 miles up the coast to Point B. Drop a stone to mark the exact spot.

  3. 03
    Run 13.1 back

    Turn around and run those same 13.1 miles back to A. That's a full marathon. That's the day.

  4. 04
    Only then, the car moves

    Drive to the stone at B, park for the night. Next morning, start at that stone and repeat toward C. 21 times, all the way to the Thousand Islands.

The car never goes anywhere my feet haven't already been — twice.

The stones are save points. The only way to unlock one is on foot, there and back. Nothing gets skipped, shuttled, or driven around.

21 marathons is 550 miles run. Half of that is forward progress — 275 miles of Lake Ontario shoreline, from the Niagara border to the Thousand Islands. That's where this ends: at the top of the 1000 Islands Tower.

Where It Begins.

Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, Niagara-on-the-Lake — one of the US/Canada borders. The run kicked off here on Saturday, August 8, 2026 at 9:00 AM.

Heads up: I'm not running on the bridge. The start is on the Niagara River Recreation Trail directly underneath the Queenston Bridge, on the Canadian side in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Don't head to US customs — meet me down on the trail.
