I’m helping kids be mighty

As the only hospital in BC devoted exclusively to kids, BC Children’s provides the specialized care that seriously ill kids need to fight their health battles.

Amazing progress has been made in improving children’s health care. But the fact is, there’s still more to do when it comes to taking on the biggest health threats facing our kids.

Your donation to my RBC Race for the Kids fundraising page will help advance care for kids across the province and support experts at BC Children’s Hospital in their quest to conquer childhood illnesses.

Thank you for your support.

THANKED A DONOR

Updates

2 Days to go!

Friday 7th Jun

Again, a huge thank you to everyone who donated. Together we raised a grand total of $2,276 which completely blew out my expectations. In the last 3 months of training I have run over 200km and now with 2 days to go to race day I am pleased to say I beat my first goal of being able to run 5km comfortably in under 30 minutes. My stretch goal has also been hit more recently as my last two runs I have done in under 27 minutes 30 seconds. Feeling a lot better for it physically and mentally and now fully prepared for race day.

Thanks again to all my supporters and looking forward to connecting with a lot of new colleagues on Sunday.

Training Progress

Tuesday 21st May
With a little over 2 weeks to go I am pleased to announce I am ahead of schedule with my 12 week walk to run program. I started week 12 last weekend with the aim for me to be able to comfortably run 5km without stopping by the end of this week. Yesterday I ran 5km, comfortably in under 30 minutes. 
I wear my England shirt for running and the guys who yell "C'mon England!" from their cars on the Lions Gate Bridge on ramp really do help - Thanks! I will keep up the interval training and see if I can bring the time down to under 29 minutes. It will then be interesting to see how close I can get to 27 minutes on race day.

Doubling Up

Wednesday 8th May
Well with the added impetus of the sponsors doubling any donation received today (8th May) I decided to double my goal. If I reach $1000 then that will also be doubled. Basically if I receive another $380 that will actually mean $1380 to the hospital. And actually if the donation is made today it will only take $190 to reach that goal!

Training Update

Monday 6th May

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, it truly has been touching and your support is really encouraging.

For those who like the numbers and want to know how my training is going, I am in week 10 of my walk to run program and since the start of March I have walked/ran over 150km. Each activity I complete now totals an average of 6k and last week was the first time in well over a year that I managed to run 5k non stop. The times are by no means world beating although my target is to be able to complete the race for kids 5k in under 30 minutes. My stretch target would be to beat the time I did the Eagle Harbour 5k in 10 years ago - that was 27 minutes. Again, not incredible but for me to do that without the incentive of chasing a ball would mean something.

Stepping up

Sunday 28th Apr

Those of you who know me well, will remember I had hip replacement surgery last year. The rehabilitation process was relatively quick and I was up and about last summer back on the trails and golf courses and enjoyed a slow return to skiing in the winter. Running and playing soccer however, were targets my Doctor warned would take a little longer and that proved correct although I started a walk to run program in March and am looking to be able to run 5k efficiently soon. Aligning this goal with fundraising for the local hospital my children have received exceptional service from seems a good thing to do. Hoping you agree and any small donation will be gratefully received. Thanks!
