Are you ready to make every mile matter?

Join the Allyson Whitney Foundation (AWF) as a charity runner in the Run to Rome Marathon 2026, and help bring hope, strength, and critical support to young adults battling rare cancers.

The Allyson Whitney Foundation is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit, passionately dedicated to empowering young adults diagnosed with rare cancers. Through “Life Interrupted Grants”, we provide direct financial support to help patients manage daily living expenses while undergoing treatment—because no one should face cancer alone, especially in the prime of their lives.

By running with Team AWF, you’re not just taking on a race—you’re becoming part of a movement that honors courage, celebrates life, and brings lasting impact to a too-often overlooked group.

Why Run to Rome with Us?

🏛 The Experience: A breathtaking course through the Eternal City, weaving past ancient landmarks, cobblestone streets, and Roman history.

💙 The Cause: Every dollar you raise goes directly to helping young adults in need. With no paid staff, your impact is immediate and meaningful.

👟 The Support: As part of Team AWF, you’ll receive fundraising guidance, training tips, a race-day shirt, and a community cheering you on—every step of the way.

Spots are limited! Run for those who can’t. Run to honor. Run with heart.
