BoxRun Charitable Foundation focuses on community sporting events and 100% volunteer support to raise awareness
and funds for the fight against childhood cancer. On May 8th, 2014, BoxRun started fundraising activities. Our founder, 3-time
Olympian and Commonwealth Champion boxer Mike Strange ran a marathon a day, for 94 days, from St. John's, Newfoundland,
to his hometown of Niagara Falls, Ontario. Since then, BoxRun has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer research
and family support services by focusing on sports-based activities backed by the incredible support of an army of volunteers.

Our Founder
Michael (Mike) Strange
"My motivation is the children. Period. I spent many years fighting in the ring but never met tougher fighters than the young ones who fight for their lives. People ask me to come and speak to the children for inspiration, but, for me, it's the other way round."
