The Second Annual Jacob McKay Memorial (virtual) Races for Children’s Hospital
Run/walk one or more distances in May to raise funds for the LHSC Children’s Hospital for the lowly “entrance fee” of a $5 (or more) donation to the hospital. 100% of entry fees will go to the hospital. For fun, fitness, and/or friendly competition. But mostly, to support a great cause!
Your donation gives you access to run one or more events from May 20th through 22nd. You may run or walk on roads, trails, and/or treadmills (or backyards, living rooms, etc.)
Last year’s event raised $1395 for Children’s Hospital!

Backstory: In 2014, our son, Jacob Carter McKay, was born stillborn as a result of Potter’s Syndrome, days after I completed my first marathon. In memory of Jacob, I am running 100 miles/160km at the Happy Trails Racing Foxtail Hundred rail trail race this August to raise money for the London Children’s Hospital.
