Run for Every Child
Commit to your training. Commit to their care.
This challenge isn’t about hitting a single mileage number. It’s about showing up consistently. Whether you’re logging short recovery runs, long training miles, speed workouts, or race day efforts, every mile you run reflects your dedication to children and families who rely on expert care every day.
As your training progresses throughout the year, your Strava activity automatically tracks your journey and shares it with your fundraising supporters, helping them see the work you’re putting in and the impact they’re helping to make. Each run is a reminder that progress is built over time, and that steady commitment can help support programs vital to providing exceptional pediatric care.
