As long as we have faith in our own cause
and an unconquerable will to win, victory will
not be denied us.

What We're About
|
All of us have
been touched at one point or
another by illness. Whether
we experience illness directly and
survive it, or we watch a friend
or
family member battle a particular
disease, it takes a tremendous
amount
of courage and hope to regain our
quality of life, physically and
emotionally.
Running
For Our Lives is about
optimizing our quality
of life every
day--through fitness,
nutrition, and
balance--to adopt a
lifestyle of
wellness and health.
Whether we've been
affected by cancer, multiple
sclerosis,
Alzheimer's
disease, meningitis,
lupus, depression,
addiction, or some
other life-altering
illness, we've chosen
to focus
our energies in a
positive direction
toward feeling our
best by doing
our best, not only for
ourselves but for
those we love.
Because
nutrition,
emotional wellness,
physical health, and
fitness are
at the core of a
disease-fighting
lifestyle, one of
the goals of
Running for Our
Lives is to
encourage others to
participate in
events, whether it
is a charity walk, a
5k road race, a bike
ride, or a
triathlon, that
raise money for the
diseases that have
personally affected
them. In doing so,
they will be keeping
active and healthy
while reaching goals
they may never have
dreamed possible.
