At just 22, James Newman just completed an awe-inspiring 117-day solo run across Canada — from St. John’s to Victoria — raising over half a million dollars for vulnerable kids’ education. Running through blisters, ulcers, and smoke, he powered on with his brothers by his side, fueled by childhood hero Terry Fox. He wore twelve pairs of shoes, some signed by kids he met, and even had the Children’s Aid Foundation CEO fly in to celebrate him as one of the most resilient young people he’s ever known. Now, he’s taking time to heal before diving into a master’s in robotics — and leaving behind a powerful message: keep going, always get back up.
