We run for the young adults who never chose this race.

We are proud to run together in Napa Valley, Dublin, Marine Corp Marathon, Run Rome and Miami as part of the Allyson Whitney Foundation AWFSQUAD, uniting our miles, our hearts, and our purpose to support young adults facing cancer.

Young adult cancer patients are often overlooked, underfunded, and forced to navigate treatment at a time in life that should be filled with opportunity — not medical bills, fear, and isolation.
AWF steps in where others don’t.

Through Life Interrupted Grants, the foundation provides direct financial assistance to young adults in active treatment, helping them cover the everyday expenses that don’t stop just because cancer does.

This is why we run — and why your support means so much.

💛 Why We’re Running

We come from different places, different backgrounds, and different running paces…
but we are united by one mission:

• To honor the legacy of Allyson Whitney Strong

• To bring relief, dignity, and hope to young adults battling cancer

• To raise awareness for a population often forgotten

• To run for those who are fighting for their lives every single day

Every mile we take on, we dedicate to the warriors who inspire us.
Your donation fuels every step.
