Help us raise $150,000 for sick kids

The 2011 Sun-Herald City2Surf will be held on Sunday 14 August. Attracting 80,000 participants annually the City2Surf is Sydney's favourite community sporting event.

Appealing to serious runners, casual joggers and families alike, the City2Surf offers a unique experience to people of all ages and fitness abilities.

Team Bandaged Bear (formerly Think Kids Challenge) has been an initiative of The Children's Hospital at Westmead and Bear Cottage since 2005. In the past four years, $400,000 has been raised for these special places of care. The 2010 event was a huge success, raising over $100,000 with a record 400 team members.

Media personality James Kerley has chosen to run with Team Bandaged Bear because he has been inspired by the courageous kids and families that are treated at the Children's Hospital Westmead every day. "I am in awe of their determination and strong spirits. I will be thinking of them when I am tackling heart break hill. Knowing me, it will be 14km's of struggle... but for many families, particularly those who have child with a life-limiting illnesses, their fight is a long one and they deserve all the help we can give them." James Kerley has an incredibly diverse career in both radio and television. Currently James can be seen on The Comedy Channel in the hugely successful Balls of Steel. Other projects have included working as a host on Nova FM and Channel V.
