HO HO 250K - I'm running 250KM 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 250km. The event will take place December 21st, starting at 6:00 am.

The majority of the proceeds from your donations (90%) 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. The other 10% of donations will be used to fund the event.

If you are able, please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of raising $10,000 for this charity.

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 promote 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.

Flip the switch!

Ryan
