The Cause
"Children are society's best return on investment."
Race founder, Chip Wilson
The Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile supports BC Children’s Hospital and the uphill battles faced by children who are trying to get well, and the medical staff who are trying to make miracles happen.
Children are precious and the most vulnerable members of our society. They rely on us to care for them.
We also know today that most of the common adult diseases find their origins in early childhood and by investing in the health of children we are investing in the future health of the entire population. Joining with Chip, we share the responsibility for seeing that nothing stands in the way of children achieving their full potential. I hope that you too can join us in our pursuit of giving every child a chance to live their life to the fullest.
Sincerely,
Sue.
President and CEO BC Children’s Hospital Foundation
