Join James as he runs across Canada for 100 days, 75+km/day, to fund scholarships for youth who’ve also been displaced in childhood. The 7500km journey is from St. John's, NL to Victoria, BC.

Follow the run starting May 18th, 2026 at www.jamesrunscanada.ca

Funds raised through this campaign will help finance the run itself, including the costs of food, shoes, RV maintenance, etc. Sponsors donating to support the run in this way will earn themselves additional spotlight on the website, social media posts, news, merch, and more - as described in the Sponsorship Package. Any leftover money not used to directly help finance the run will go towards the Children's Aid Foundation of Canada Scholarship fund to support youth in need.

Throughout the journey, James will be seeking to raise funds to support Post-Secondary Education Scholarships with Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada’s for youth in need. After childhood instability, the future can feel uncertain. Access to post-secondary education empowers young people with child welfare lived experience to pursue their dreams and build successful futures.

Scholarships create a profound impact:

• Advancing education and career goals

• Reducing financial stress during transition

• Creating hope and long-term stability

Any donations towards financing the run will be greatly appreciated and directly help its success.
