Hi, my name is Josh Thomas, and I’m committing to 7 days of complete fasting — no food, just water and electrolytes — to raise funds for the Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Why I’m Doing This

Fasting for a week is no small challenge. But it’s nothing compared to what many children and families face every day at the Alberta Children’s Hospital — battling illness, undergoing treatments, and navigating uncertainty with courage most of us can’t imagine.

While I go without food, I’ll be thinking of the kids who don’t get to choose their struggles — the ones fighting for their health, their smiles, and their futures. This is my way of showing up for them.

Where Your Donations Go

Every dollar raised goes directly to the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation, supporting life-saving equipment, ground-breaking pediatric research, mental health programs, and care for families during their hardest moments.

Your donation will help ensure:

How You Can Help

Whether you give $5, $50, or simply share this campaign — you’re making a difference. I’ll be sharing daily updates on Instagram/Facebook @joshrrthomas, documenting the mental and physical journey of going without food for 7 days — all to bring awareness and raise funds for the kids who need it most.

Together, let’s turn hunger into healing.

Let’s support the little warriors at Alberta Children’s Hospital.

With gratitude (and a growling stomach),

Josh Thomas
