Organiser's Description
APRIL IS WHEN YARASTAR MOVES.
APRIL 130, 2026 | Virtual Challenge | WALK. RUN. ANYWHERE.
A marathon is 26.2 miles. Most people think it requires one exhausting day.
We believe it requires something more powerful: _CONSISTENCY_.
This April, join the YaraStar Foundation community [https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/?raceId=142918] for a virtual movement challenge that helps you build discipline and helps children receive the steady support they need to thrive.
THE CHALLENGE
Complete 26.2 miles in 30 days.
YOUR PACE. YOUR SCHEDULE. YOUR LOCATION.
Thats less than a mile a day and it adds up the same way real progress does: STEP BY STEP.
WHY WE MOVE
APRIL 1 [https://www.yarastarfoundation.org/about#yaras-story] MARKS BOTH THE DAY WE REMEMBER YARA AND THE DAY YARASTAR FOUNDATION BEGAN.
What could have remained a moment of grief became a commitment to move forward with purpose. Each year, when April comes around, we choose to mark it the same way: WE MOVE.
YOUR PARTICIPATION helps fund scholarships, therapy support, and inclusive programs for the children we serve [https://www.yarastarfoundation.org/stories].
OUR 2026 GOAL
This year, we are raising $15,000.
Reaching this goal will allow us to:
* Extend scholarships to at least 10 students
* Provide school supplies and outreach support to at least 30 additional children.
CLEAR GOALS CREATE CLEAR IMPACT. EVERY MILE AND EVERY GIFT MOVES US CLOSER.
THIS CHALLENGE IS BUILT AROUND THREE COMMITMENTS
BUILD DISCIPLINE.
SHARE COMMITMENT.
FUND FUTURES.
Youre not only completing miles youre strengthening consistency, inviting accountability, and helping fuel access for children who need it most.
HOW IT WORKS
* REGISTER [https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/?raceId=142918] for Marathon in a Month 2026.

READY TO GO FURTHER? BECOME A FUNDRAISER
Fundraising is how your miles become support.
When you become a fundraiser, youll get your own personal page to share with friends and family. Many people dont reach goals because they try to do it alone. This is your built-in accountability and it creates impact at the same time.
