Charity Run • May 1, 2026
Samm plans to run from his front door to the Tobermory pier in support of his wife, who is battling cancer for a third time. This page keeps the focus on raising funds for local care - respectfully and without sensationalizing.
Tracking down to the second until Samm's 251 km charity run for cancer care.
Compassion first. The goal is tangible support - for people who never chose a cancer diagnosis.
Starting May 1, 2026, Samm plans to run 251 kilometers - from his front door in Stratford, Ontario to the Tobermory pier, through the Bruce Peninsula.
Two lifelong friends will join to support and document the journey while traveling in an RV along the route.
A GoFundMe launched with an initial goal of $4,500 and raised over $6,500 in the first days. Every dollar is split evenly between these three organizations.
