Community update — we’re now 23 days out from Samm’s start line. May 11, 2026, Stratford to Tobermory pier, 251 km on foot for local cancer care.

A few ways folks on the forum have been helping that don’t cost a dollar and still move the needle:

- **Share the run page.** The GoFundMe ([gofundme.com/f/2mspu-charity-run](https://gofundme.com/f/2mspu-charity-run)) lives or dies on forwards. A single share to a neighbourhood group or family chat moves the reach further than any paid ad I’ve tried to buy.
- **If you’re on Samm’s route** (Stratford → St. Marys → Goderich → Kincardine → Port Elgin → Wiarton → Tobermory), post a sighting or a cheer when he comes through. The route cheers are the part he’s been talking about most.
- **Adjacent trades on here** — if your shop or crew wants to sponsor a day, we’re still matching company pledges against a KM count. Reply or DM me and I’ll get you on the backer wall before start day.

Every dollar lands in one of three places: London Health Sciences Centre Cancer Program, Stratford General’s ER, and Wellspring Stratford. Nothing to a broker, nothing to admin. Direct.

If you’re newer to the forum and want a read on how this community works while you’re here, the [most commonly asked questions thread](https://home.renovation.reviews/t/most-commonly-asked-questions) is the quickest way to get oriented. Kitchen and bath stuff, contractor vetting, permits, and yes — the charity.

Thanks to the 17 of you who’ve already posted in this thread and the community members who quietly hit share. It adds up.
