Saint Ralph
Ralph is a fourteen year old who attends a catholic school in Hamilton, Ontario. His mom is sick, he's bullied at school, and his life isn't going so great. When Ralph discovers that he has a talent for running, he becomes convinced that he should run in the Boston Marathon. Told it would take a miracle for him to win this prestigious race, he connects the dots and decides that by winning he can also find a cure for his mom. But to pull off this seemingly impossible feat, the loner has to enlist the help of his whole community.
