The snow is deep out there, but our 2025 Run 4 Kids Team is already out putting one foot in front of the other, getting ready for the Missoula Marathon in June.
There’s room for you on our Team! Whether you run the Full, The Half, walk or do the 5K, there will be training involved. Most likely there will be days when it is gloomy outside or you just don’t feel like lacing up and getting out there. Knowing your training is part of something bigger is like having the wind at your back. Having a Team by your side helps the miles fly by.
It’s that time of year when summer feels far, far away. We remind ourselves that winter never actually lasts forever and that greener, sunnier days are on the way. This is an apt metaphor for our work here at Youth Homes. We are showing the kids in our care that sunnier days ahead are possible. Those are hard-earned sunny days for the most part. These kids do a lot of work to heal from their traumas. That internal work is not unlike the long training that goes into a marathon. It can feel like a slog, it can be grueling, but the victory is all the sweeter for it and the pay-off is worth it.
Last year our Run 4 Kids Team raised a whopping $82,000 in support of the work we do and the kids we do it for. We can do even better in 2025 with your help. Join, Sponsor or Support a Team Member and know that those dollars have will have an immediate, positive impact on the lives of vulnerable youth in our community.
