Every contribution counts. Together, we can turn miles into opportunities and opportunities into brighter futures. 🔗 Donate through the link in our bio 🚨 #communitysupport #runningcommunity #run #giveback #running Last year we were able to give 5 students $1,000 each! Next year we’re aiming for 10 students for $1,000 each! Thanks to everyone whose supported and believed in our mission we’ve been able to give over $15,000 worth of scholarships the past 4 years! 🥳
