HO HO 200K - I'm running 200KM dressed as Santa

My name is Ryan Keeping, and I'm an Ultra Marathon runner from Nova Scotia who is passionate about running and helping others. This holiday season, I am combining my passions with the aim of bringing some Christmas cheer to families in need.

To achieve this, I am hosting a fundraiser run, during which I will be running laps around the Halifax Commons until I reach my goal distance of 200km. The event will take place December 16th, starting at 6:00 am.

The proceeds from your donations to this event will go to the Ronald McDonald House Atlantic. This organization aims to make families feel at home, even when they can’t be - and although there’s no place like home for the holidays, your donation can go a long way in helping families have a Merry Christmas as they receive the care they need.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of raising $5000 for this charity. If you are a business owner and would like to show your support, I will be auctioning off patches on my Santa Suit for a very reasonable price. If you are interested in having your logo showcased by sponsoring a patch on my suit, please reach out to me and leave your contact information and I will be in touch ASAP.

If you’re not in a position to donate, there are other ways you can help! Come join me at the Commons for a few laps, or share the content I will be creating to showcase the event on your social media.

Thank you to everyone for your support as I take on this goal to ensure every child receives a gift this holiday season.
