Telus Storyhive Documentary Coming Soon
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a brutal, invisible arthritic disease that has taken a physical and mental toll on me since I was 14.
I’m not chasing medals or personal bests. I'm trying to push the societal goalposts on what people believe is possible while living with a painful, debilitating, chronic illness.
Growing up, I searched for someone who looked like me, moved like me, and understood the pain I was living with, but I couldn’t find anyone. So I decided to become that person, and I need your help.
The Run
Ty is running from the Arctic to the Baja, over 6+ months, to raise awareness, support and funds for people living with painful, debilitating, lifelong arthritic conditions.
Having lived with arthritis for 20 years throughout his spine and hips, Ty knows the struggle firsthand. Rather than slowing down, he's pushing himself to the limit - one mile, one conversation and one story at a time.
This Run Will:
-
Raise global awareness about arthritic conditions and chronic illness
-
Support fundraising efforts for research and resources for those affected
-
Share real stories from people living with arthritic conditions
-
Inspire movement, both mentally and physically
Why Support
Your brand becomes part of something meaningful, helping fund a journey that will bring visibility to diseases too often misunderstood.
The entire journey will be filmed, documented, and shared, building an audience across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and partner media outlets. This isn’t just a run. It’s a platform for hope, awareness, and resilience.
Sponsors gain exposure across:
-
A traveling, cross-continental campaign - your brand will be visible in multiple provinces, states, and communities across North America, reaching diverse audiences from urban centres to remote towns.
-
Professional multimedia content - logos and branding featured in a high-quality recap documentary, short-form social media clips, and daily updates capturing the journey in real time.
-
Mobile visibility - decals and logos on our RV, worn gear, and running equipment ensure your brand is seen on the road, at events, and in countless photos and videos shared online.
-
Local events and community engagement - appearances, speaking opportunities, and press coverage at schools, hospitals, and Indigenous communities create meaningful, high-touch exposure.
-
Social media amplification - dedicated posts, stories, and mentions across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook reach an audience passionate about health, endurance sports, and social impact.
-
Association with a mission-driven cause - your brand becomes part of a life-changing journey, helping fund awareness for a disease often misunderstood, while connecting emotionally with audiences who care deeply about health and wellness.
