Event summary

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for an inspiring cause at the "Run H.A.R.D. For Rare Kids!" event, taking place from February 21 to February 28, 2025, in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Broward. This virtual run is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and funds for children battling rare diseases and chronic illnesses. Join in the excitement as participants can choose their own race distances, whether it be an impressive 28 miles, a manageable 8 miles over the week, or even just 2 miles. If running isn't your thing, you can still show your support by relaxing for rare kids from the comfort of your home!

As we gear up towards Rare Disease Day on February 28, the event aims to raise $10,000 to support the mission of helping these children feel less alone. Invite your friends and family to join you in this heartwarming initiative and share your journey on social media using the hashtags #FightingHARDFoundation and #RunHARD2025. Together, let's spread love, raise awareness, and Run HARD for Rare Kids!

Organiser's Description

Let's raise some awareness for kids who are Fighting HARD (Having A Rare Disease)! We will be hosting a Virtual Run for Rare Disease Week and hope that you will join us to Run HARD for Rare Kids! Our mission at Fighting HARD Foundation is to help children with rare diseases and chronic illness to not feel alone. No matter where you are in the world, there are still plenty of ways to get involved! So get some friends and family together, log some miles, or relax for rare kids and show your support from your sofa! We are hoping to raise $10,000 this year, and every penny counts! Join an existing fundraiser or start your own, and share on social media with the hashtags #FightingHARDFoundation and #RunHARD2025 to help us raise awareness and funds for kids with rare diseases and chronic illnesses!

Rare Disease Day is February 28th, 2025, which is the rarest day of the year. We will be having our Virtual Run for the 8 days leading up to our Rare Day! You can participate in any event that you would like during those 8 days. Are you a HARD core runner? Rock out 28 miles. How about 8 miles in 8 days? Or 2 miles? Or maybe you just want to support our kids and Relax for Rare Kids instead! Some of our kids in the foundation may not be able to run or walk, so we thought this would be a great way to show them that others are running or walking FOR THEM! Let's all spread some love, raise some awareness, and Run HARD for Rare Kids!
