If you haven’t heard about Jamie McDonald, you’ll find your day enhanced from knowing more about him. This 31 year old UK native was born with a rare spinal condition called syringomyelia. For his first nine years, he was in and out of the hospital and eventually managed to get to a better place with his health. As a result, he vowed to give back to the hospitals that had supported him.
His first task was to run 5000 miles from coast to coast across Canada…dressed as the superhero Flash. Now, he’s raising money for charities and hospitals in the States by running from the West Coast to the East. His charity is called Superhero Foundation and he has a book called Adventureman: Anyone Can Be a Superhero.
His goals are to raise money for those in need and to encourage people to find the superhero inside themselves. All of his donations will go to his Superhero Foundation and he has set his sights on raising $1 million. Join him in his adventure!
