why run, no one is chasing you...

Thursday 23rd Apr

Good morning everyone!

 

I think we all know I'm always in for a good challenge, and this May is going to be the biggest challenge I've taken on. The Million Reasons Run is happening in May and is a 31 day running challenge, to support Sick Kids hospitals across Canada. Now, telling you why I'm running is a little harder than thought it was going to be…

 

I've been known to share some funny and often ridiculous stories about the antics in my little family. Today, I'm going to tell you a bit about my wonderful, wild and Sick Kid, Maddox Mary.

 

Maddox, a spitfire 4 year old with more ideas than the entire TEDTalks archive and more sass than all the Taylor Swift tours put together, woke up and said "mommy my legs don't work".  4 days later she met her team at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto where Maddox received a life sentence.

 

Every day since, the people of Sick Kids have been showing up for Maddox, advocating for Maddox, researching for Maddox, trying harder every day, for Maddox- and Maddox is walking proof that what they are doing is working.

 

So, I'm going to run 100km and I'm going to raise $1000 dollars and I have no idea how I'm going to do it, but I've watched Sick Kids help Maddox do the impossible, and I have to help them keep doing that for every other 4 year old that wakes up and says "mommy my legs don't work".
