Make Jamie McDonald a Sir for running across America for sick kids.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Jamie McDonald has run 5500 miles and 210 marathons across America to raise awareness and money (and smiles) for sick kids. He's also previously run across Canada for the same reasons. He inspires so many and is humble and down to earth.
He runs for the superhero foundation (his charity) and runs dressed as Adventureman. He spent the first nine years of life in and out of hospital with rare spinal condition and has overcome many challenges to do what he does for others.
