What I Am Running For

Join me in supporting the Osborne Head and Neck Foundation and their team Headstrong Heroes fighting for families in need of medical care.

Your run supports surgical, housing, and travel grant programs for low and no income patients in need, and a Medical Mission to Guatemala. Over 64% of the population in Guatemala lives below the poverty line without access to medical care. During the pandemic international borders were closed to humanitarian teams. This Medical Mission will be the first of its kind since 2020.

Together we can change lives. Learn More about your impact.

I’ve committed to raising $350 towards Medical and Impact Missions in Guatemala. With your support we can change lives.
