Why Your Gift Matters
Belonging & Character in Every Mile
We know belonging matters. Boys practice twice a week for seven weeks, guided by trained volunteer coaches. Every practice includes a character lesson. Each season ends with a 5K that celebrates their growth.
Strengthen Communities
As boys grow, so do the communities they belong to. Healthy boys become positive contributors, helping break cycles of disadvantage and inspiring others.
Unlock Potential Beyond Running
We do more than help boys run. We help them build self-esteem, healthy relationships, resilience, and the confidence to be themselves. Boys finish the Let Me Run program strong in body, mind, and spirit.
