Alex has always felt really bad seeing homeless people struggling when we're out. He likes to help whenever he can, but it bothers him that he's only able to help one person at a time. So this summer, he’s decided to do something bigger! Alex is going to run the distance of a marathon over the holidays to raise money for Jimmy’s, a charity that supports homeless people.

By running 26.2 miles over the next couple of weeks, Alex hopes to raise enough money to make a real difference for a lot of people, not just one. He’s asking friends, family, and anyone who wants to help to sponsor him. Every little bit will go directly to Jimmy’s to help provide shelter, food, and support to those who need it most.

If you can, please consider supporting Alex on his marathon journey and help him make a big impact!

Within Jimmy's centres, residents can access support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once residents are ready to move into Jimmy’s supported housing they keep in touch regularly with their individual support worker. This relationship often continues even after the individuals are ready to transition on from Jimmy’s housing.

Jimmy’s aim is to offer targeted, wraparound support to promote mental wellbeing and help our residents fulfil their goals. We use evidence-based support to improve our services and impact and to be a voice for change.
