Mission and Advocacy

This race is part of a larger effort to run 50 half marathons in 50 states, completing one race each month. Each run is dedicated to raising awareness about parental alienation, family court practices that separate children from a loving parent, and the urgent need for children to have reasonable access to both parents.

• Visibility: This run exists to bring visibility to that harm and to advocate for fair, child-focused family court outcomes.
• Advocacy: Your participation helps in advocating for meaningful change for families across the country.
• Engagement: Supporters can join from anywhere, bringing collective attention to these critical issues.
