My Story…
Running the Chilly to help raise money to send food to those in need with Hamilton Food Share and to inspire my kids to never stop running towards their dreams *
Operating for over 30 years, Hamilton Food Share is the city’s Emergency Food Shipping and Receiving Hub.
Hamilton Food Share provides resources to 16 member agencies, operating 23 hunger-relief programs across the greater Hamilton region.
These emergency food programs support over 10,400 visits every month representing over 17,600 unique individuals, 34% of whom are children. Additionally, the hot meal programs supported by Hamilton Food Share are serving 29,000 hot meals each month to our neighbours in need.
A $1 donation will provide $5 worth of nutritious food to our community. Your support will ensure our most vulnerable neighbours, like the 6,050 children and 1,668 seniors who line up at a food bank each month, have access to the nutritious food they need.
Non-perishable food items will also be collected at the race!
**Tax receipts will be issued on donations of $20.00 or more.

Donate to help Ariel raise money for 2026 Chilly Half Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
